[Verse 1]
Red roses just won't work now
Here we go, us again
You've been gone and here you stand
With a dozen "I'm sorrys" in your hand
Victim of your potent charms
I took you back with open arms
But along with the roses came the thorns
[Chorus]
And that's why red roses just won't work now
Because you've done too much
To talk things out
You could tell me you love me
But that's the one thing I'll always doubt
Red roses just won't work now
[Verse 2]
Gone for good's the trust I had
You let me done the garden path
Just too many times to take you back
So faith is why don't you
Save the roses for you know who
I already know how long they'll last
[Chorus]
