David Adam Byrnes - She Only Wanted Flowers Lyrics

That Cadillac in the driveway, hadn't moved in 18 days
That dresser full of clothes I bought, it just takes up space
That jewelry on the vanity, lays around in vain
When I look around at all I see, the girl had everything

But she only wanted flowers
It's the little things that mattered
All the pretty things that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her
Why couldn't I see
She only wanted flowers

The last thing we did together was tear each other apart
Splitting everything down the middle
From the end back to the start
She looked down at that diamond ring and broke down in the hall
When her tears fell on that marble she said Baby, keep it all

Cause she only wanted flowers
It's the little things that mattered
All the pretty things that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her
Yeah I gave her what I thought she needed
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her
Why couldn't I see
She only wanted flowers

She only wanted flowers
It's the little things that mattered
All the pretty thing that money brings
Didn't mean a thing to her
I gave her what I though she needed
But I missed the forest for the trees and now
I'm sitting here without her
Why couldn't I see
Why couldn't I see
She only wanted flowers
