eat the roses

i send you candy and i send you flowers
call up and tell ya you're my favorite girl
i waste my entire income on you
i buy you diamonds and i buy you pearls

is there a sign hangin' 'round my neck sayin'
go 'head and milk me for all i've got
do you want me to give you some blood
that's about the only thing i haven't bought
for you

baby i'm broke
can't you read my lips
i said i can't blow any more of my cash
i'm warnin' you now
the next gift you receive
could come out of the trash

i don't wanna sound like a cheapskate baby
but i really don't see anything for me here
why don't you just go down and pick up my paycheck
why don't you get yourself some credit at penney's or sears

if you really love me
and you're thinkin' of me
you'd offer to pay this time
thanks to you
i don't have another dime

baby, i've only got one thing left for you, and that's me
it's the only thing i can give you for free
so flush the candy and eat the roses
and love me free of charge

baby, i've only got one thing left for you, and that's me
it's the only thing i can give you for free
so flush the candy and eat the roses
and love me free of charge

tax deductible
toll free
if nothing else
consider it a charity
and give until it hurts
baby i love you
so eat the roses and love me too
like i love you
