Don't care for gardenias

Rather have a dandelion

Don't like weddings much either now

And things that you can't rely on.



But you make me feel good

You with your run-down shoes and your shining eyes

You make me feel good

You can do what you want and I don't mind.



Don't much care for birds of paradise

Rather have a sparrow

Don't like flying much either now

Things you can't control.



But you make me feel good

You with your scruffy jeans and your run-down shoes

You make me feel good

You only do the things that you want to.



You make me feel good

You with your scruffy jeans and your tangly hair

You make me feel good

You can do what you want

And I don't care.
