I'm no fool, respectability
is number one on my priorities
no cheating man can get my sympathy
should've known better
than to put one of me
now when you pass me by
should hold your head in shame
cos you know inside
been there through thick and thin
what goes around comes back around again
it's too late to try to make amends

you keep on sending me roses
but I just don't call
why do you keep sending me flowers
when there's no chance at all
you know you don't deserve a second try
cos roses don't always make it right

you thought you had me down
but I'm far too secure
thought you could play around
what kind of fool do you take me for
I'm the kind of girl
who always leaves you wanting more
It's a shame if that's too much of a chare

you keep on sending me roses
but I just don't call
why do you keep sending me flowers
when there's no chance at all
you know you don't deserve a second try
cos roses don't always make it right

I used to love those things you do
digging the cause they came from the heart
but then you lied a little
cheat, (and) messed around a little
and now they tell me that you're falling apart

you keep on sending me roses
but I just don't call
why do you keep sending me flowers
when there's no chance at all
you know you don't deserve a second try
cos roses don't always make it right
