[Verse 1]
It's a beautiful day, I've been crying all night
Ah, there's tears in my blues, and we've run out of time
This bender's been bending, it's hellbound to break
My heart has had all it can take

[Chorus]
So baby, I'll take your roses
If you cut off the thorns, I can't take no more
You'll try violets and daisies to hide all the crazy
It's gonna take all you've got
Oh, it's a bad day for love
But a good day for flower shops

[Verse 2]
Well, he took some pills and I took the dogs
Oh, it's all gone to hell, and I've gone to my mom's
And he took up drinkin' since I took the time
To tell him he took the best years of my life

[Chorus]
So baby, I'll take your roses
If you cut off the thorns, I can't take no more
You'll try violets and daisies to hide all the crazy
It's gonna take all you've got
It's a tough day for love
But a good day for flower shops
[Bridge]
Roses are red, violets are blue
I don't need one, I need one million to get from you

[Chorus]
So baby, I'll take your roses
If you cut off the thorns, I can't take no more
You'll try violets and daisies to get back your baby
It's gonna take all you've got
Oh, it's a bad day for love
But a good day for flower shops
