Ooh, never thought I would be without you
I wish you love, I wish you well
I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em
With pretty flowers, can come the bee sting (ooh, never thought I would be without you)
But I wish you well, I wish you well
I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em (ooh)

I was a rose in the garden of weeds
My petals are soft and silky as my sheets
So do not be afraid to get pricked by the thorns
While I'm here I'm someone to honor
When I'm gone I'm someone to mourn

But if you want my heart
Should someday drift apart
And make sure to give it’s blessing
Because they’re all I’ve got
My love’s deep as deep ocean
Don’t you drown on me
Just know any love I gave you
Is forever yours to keep

Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses
I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses
Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses
I wish you roses
Yeah, roses

Ooh, never thought I would be without you
I wish you love, I wish you well
I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em
With pretty flowers, can come the bee sting (ooh, never thought I would be without you)
But I wish you well, I wish you well
I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em (ooh)

Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses (I wish you roses)
I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses (I wish you roses)
Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses
I wish you roses

Yeah, roses
You’re gonna want me back
You’re gonna
You know I can’t do that
You know I can’t do that
You know it
