Send me no roses please no more roses

Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you

Without fail everyday since you went away

The doorbell rings you're sending roses again

In my room all petals fall but darling that's not all

I read your card then a million tears began

Though the love we once knew still lives inside of you

The one who holds you now won't set you free

To see me you don't dare but roses say you care

Tell her goodbye then please return to me

But send me no roses please no more roses

Roses are red I know but to my tears they look blue

Send me no roses please no more roses

Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you
