Lyrics:
I have seen your body
And I have seen your beauty
They are separate things
Pretty pretty pretty things
But I am in a garden
Tending to my own
So what do I care
And what do you care if I grow?
If I grow
Roses Roses Roses…
Show no concern for colors of a Violet
Lotus Lotus Lotus…
Hopes it won’t spark envy in your Irises
Think of all the wilted women
Who crane their necks to reach a window
Ripping all their petals off just cause
“He loves me now, he loves me not”
I myself was a wilted woman
Drowsy in a dark room
Forgot my roots
Now watch me bloom
Roses Roses Roses…
Show no concern for colors of a Violet
Lotus Lotus Lotus…
Hopes it won’t spark envy in your Irises
And I will not compare other beauty to mine
And I will not become a thorn in my own side
And I will not return to where I once was
Well I can break through the Earth, come up soft and wild
Roses Roses Roses…
Show no concern for colors of a Violet
Lotus Lotus Lotus…
Hopes it won’t spark envy in your Irises
Roses Roses Roses…
