[Verse 1]
Her boyfriend dumped her for another girl
She cried her eyes out in her lonely world
She was just eighteen and for all she knew
The man of her dreams just walked out the door
She smoked 'em all and she drank a lot
In her empty room, that was all she got
She lived at night and she slept through the day
Became the talk of the town, she tried to hide away

[Chorus]
I'd like some purplе velvet roses
Givе me some purple velvet roses, please
Sir, can you help me?
I'd like some purple velvet roses, please
Sir, can you help me?

[Verse 2]
Now the story goes that she went back to school
Studied for lawyer there and then she sued, sued, sued
All the men who did her wrong
Committing adultery by loving young blondes

[Chorus]
I'd like some purple velvet roses
Give me some purple velvet roses, please
Sir, can you help me?
I'd like some purple velvet roses, please
Sir, can you help me?
[Bridge]
Now there is one thing that could cheer her up
That's to visit the local flower shop
She walked straight to the counter there
And this is what she asked the man

[Chorus]
I'd like some purple velvet roses
Give me some purple velvet roses, please
Sir, can you help me?
I'd like some purple velvet roses, please
Sir, can you help me?
I'd like some purple velvet roses, please
Sir, can you help me?
I'd like some purple velvet roses, please
Sir, can you help me?
