Paint the town red And paint me in blue Shower me in lilac The color purple always suited you Violets and lavender You'd promised those too I never noticed how You'd say you loved me with a twisted brow And hand me roses Full of stinging thorns And watch me smile as my heart was torn I paint my lips red my heart bleeds blue I put your favorite record on Will this music make your heart ring true? Love and happy endings, babe, you'd promised those too I've always known deep down Your hands of roses swept Across the town but I I wanted to believe so bad That you were my woman Oh you make me sad I always tried so hard To make you stay and wipe my tears away And beg for one more thorny rose bouquet I thought my bleeding hands would make you feel some way Baby please share your fire with me I can be all things dark and rosy Wear a crown made of thorns for you Pick you violets and roses too I come alive only when you're near Awe you with one thousand tender fears I can't make it out here on my own To me, your love is like A precious stone I dye my hair a deep ruby red I need your lips that seem on roses fed Curly locks cover foolish brains Caressed by your endless flames I'll soothe your burning fever Thaw your frozen heart Breathe you in my lungs Babe, I've been here from the start I'll be your queen of delights Your warmth on winter nights I won"t go anywhere Baby please just Stay They all say i'm doomed if I stay with you But You're The Air I breathe Baby please Please don't leave
