Petals Lyrics by The Primitives

Spin-O-Rama (10th Anniversary Reissue)

0

Sun comes up - all my dreams are wasted
Lift my head from the flower bed
My lips still sweet from the things I've tasted
I wish that I could get you outta my head

A heart not broken won't need mending
Nothing gained so nothing lost
But could a flower foretell the ending?
Well I won't pick those petals off

Spent more time than I care to mention
Trying to get me some of your attention
But you just kept on stopping to smell the flowers
It could be that you're just plain lazy
Or you want a rose but I am just a daisy
Well I don't really want to be a flower

A heart not broken won't need mending
Nothing gained so nothing lost
But could a flower foretell the ending?
Well I won't pick those petals off

Sun goes down and my dreams are waiting
Lay my head on the flower bed
Can't help wondering what could have been
I wish that I could get you outta my head

Spent more time than I care to mention
Trying to get me some of your attention
But you just kept on stopping to smell the flowers
It could be that you're just plain lazy
Or you want a rose but I am just a daisy
Well I don't really want to be a flower

A heart not broken won't need mending
Nothing gained so nothing lost
But could a flower foretell the ending?
Well I won't pick those petals off
