Send me no roses please no more roses
Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you
Without fail everyday since you went away

The doorbell rings you're sending roses again
In my room all petals fall but darling that's not all
I read your card then a million tears began
Though the love we once knew still lives inside of you
The one who holds you now won't set you free
To see me you don't dare but roses say you care
Tell her goodbye then please return to me
But send me no roses please no more roses
Roses are red I know but to my tears they look blue
Send me no roses please no more roses
Your roses can't hold me what I need most is you
