Baby’s Breath Lyrics by Pretenders

¡Viva El Amor!

1999

There was a time you thought I was in love with you
Well think again, you can't read my thoughts
You're so pretty I'd like to break your smile in two
You're so correct I'd like to disconnect the dots
You're such a child
But you're not innocent
Another kid for rent
Why did you send me roses
Save them for someone's death
The love you have to offer
Is only baby's breath
There was a time I thought you were magnificent
But you've got nothing to have or to hold
You're so pensive but your thoughts are insignificant
Wrap 'em up, another 20 billion sold
You think you're wild
And know what danger means
In your designer jeans
Why did you send me roses
Save them for someone's death
The love you have to offer
Is only baby's breath
I'd like to have you alone tonight
And rearrange your mind
I'd like to have you
But I know I'd be wasting my time
Why did you send me roses
Save them for someone's death
The love you have to offer
Is only baby's breath
Why did you send me roses
Save them for someone's death
The love you have to offer
Is only baby's breath
