If I sent a rose to you For every time you made me blue You'd have a room full of roses If I sent a rose of white For every time I cried all night You'd have a room full of roses And if you took the petals And you took them all apart You'd be tearing at the roses Just the way you tore my heart If someday you're feeling blue And you could send some roses too Well I don't want a room full of roses I just want my arms full of you And if you took the petals And you took them all apart You'd be tearing at the roses Just the way you tore my heart If someday you're feeling blue And you could send some roses too Well I don't want a room full of roses I just want my arms full of you
