Lyrics:
you in
Watch the cobra shed his skin
You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet
You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet
You've got the hand in pocket
In our dialogues
I'm a shrinking violet
I know how a liar looks
and I contempt it
In our dialogues
I'm a shrinking violet
I’m a little shook
And I
ever bloom as a shrinking violet
No shrinking violet is a girl of mine
She'll change her name
Not the world, it's a start
This, this will be the year,
Shrinking Violets
Verse One:
Let me take it back to the beginning
Accommodating boy I was the spitting image
A nigga used to get in where he fit in
own man
This is not the time to be couth in your youth
Shrinking Violets are what you are
Wilting flowers afraid of the world
Stand up spread out
head
Time to face the music
Shrinking violet
You try your best
To kick up your heels and laugh
All you do is get misread
You keep an open eye
Maybe
with one eye open
And I hold my breath 'til dawn
Yes, I'm no shrinking violet
But I got my head screwed on
You stood over me with a knife
And you
a shrinking violet
Win or lose
I’ve paid my dues
Not fit enough to tie these shoes
You’ll never be gold or have this love forever
They’ve bought and they’ve
of
If you want a little more.
I think it's going to rain
Not a time for shrinking violets
No flower ever made could
Survive this fusillade
Did I live up
quiet and intense
Now tell me, little boy what can you do?
I'm not a pansy
I am no shrinking violet
I will not pander to the whims of your disdain
All
letters sent in invisible ink
My puzzle a struggle to you to unpick
Love letters sent in invisible ink
Do you get the gist?
I was shrinking violet uh huh
I
letters sent in invisible ink
My puzzle a struggle to you to unpick
Love letters sent in invisible ink
Do you get the gist?
I was shrinking violet uh huh
I
of our way
And they'll all say it's too soon
Two shrinking violets at full bloom
Hearts prolific in plain view
As lovely large as craters on our moon
like a stupid dog
And who do you think should tell the story
Under the bed tonight?
And who did you think that shrinking violet
Would turn out
alone tonight?
The shrinking violet I've become inside
To you I may seem insecure
But did you know me what I was before?
I remember dancing
Remember, dear, that golden time
Before you thought you had to choose
Between the shrinking violet truth
And a growing list of IOUs
Before
a moonlight tete-a-tete
The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet
Oh yes she loves me
Dig that shrinking violet
Oh she really loves me
Here's one
A shrinking violet is my pleasure
Hear my heart go whoop-de-doo
To any baby dressed in periwinkle blue.
If a girl's wearing lime you can squeeze her everytime
Remember, dear, that golden time
Before you thought you had to choose
Between the shrinking violet truth
And a growing list of IOUs
Before
the blue
Then they'll see
I'm no shrinking violet
Hey I got a lot of living to do
There's music to play
Places to go, people to see!
Everything for
I crept up on my baby, I laid down on my town
I found a shrinking violet, I crushed it into the ground
I felt the heart of forever, I held it over
I crept up on my baby, I laid down on my town
I found a shrinking violet, I crushed it into the ground
I felt the heart of forever,
I held it
Beauty bound and daisy chained
Sleeping on the river bank
Dream the hours of daylight go
Pouring down
The rabbit hole
Where the shrinking
funeral pyre
Don’t think this is the last you’ll see of me
So get out of my way and make some room
I’m no shrinking violet, I need space to bloom
I’ve put
