There goes another rose
Strewn upon your path
Not just one, but all your favorite ones
Throw them down when you are done
There goes another one

Not just they, but oh, I too
Might have one time needed you
Unlike they, I could see right through
Love is fine when love is new
Or until your through

It's been years since my heart was freed
I've long since overcome the need
Now you're sitting here looking so lovelorn
But babe, don't pick the flower if you don't like thorns

There goes another rose
Strewn upon your path
Not just one, but all your favorite ones
Throw them down when you are done
Or until you're stung
