You brought me yellow roses
I wanted red
I want your warmth and closeness
I’m not your friend

Oh and some other love
She is the fortunate one
You'll give her all that I want
And I'll get nothing, nothing

But dreams in the night
Flowers that wither and die
Chasing impossible skies
Into nothing, nothing

You brought me yellow roses
I wanted red
I want your warmth and closeness
I'm not your friend
Baby, all I ever wanted
Was a love that wasn't there
You brought me yellow roses
I wanted red

Oh, in some other faith
I've been here praying for days
But you still ain't showing your face
I see nothing, nothing
Ooh, I won't wait it, I won't wait it, I won't wait it out for you
Ooh, do you wonder, do you wonder, do you wonder could it be true?

You brought me yellow roses
I wanted red
I want your warmth and closeness, I'm not your friend
Baby, all I ever wanted was a love that wasn't there
You brought me yellow roses but I wanted red

I, I
I wanted
I wanted red
