[00:11.36]Long stem things of beauty
[00:15.92]Created by the good Lord
[00:19.89]Cut down in the prime of their lives
[00:29.82]Boxed up, wrapped in paper
[00:34.07]Delivered to your front door
[00:39.21]Just to wind up in your garbage can outside
[00:45.40][Chorus]
[00:47.03]Tell me how many flowers have to die
[00:57.15]Before you give this love another try
[01:06.34]I've asked you to forgive me at least 9 dozen times
[01:14.78]Tell me how many flowers have to die
[01:20.80]
[01:34.74]I'm crazy and I'm desperate
[01:38.73]I had you and I blew it
[01:43.86]And right now I've got nothing left to lose
[01:51.74]I've got a Visa in my wallet
[01:57.05]And I'm not afraid to use it
[02:01.25]How long the needless violence lasts
[02:05.87]Is really up to you
[02:10.43][Repeat chorus]
[02:12.50]
[03:05.93]Stop the senseless killing
[03:09.93]Can't you hear the roses cry
[03:14.87]Baby, how many flowers have to die
[03:23.43]Tell me how many flowers have to die
