Paloma Faith
Romance Is Dead
[Verse 1]
The plastic flowers you gave
Sit on the table so unstable
And there are some greasy finger prints
On the pre-wrote birthday card you wrote your name in
And I know that you make your effort
But I think you could do much better
[Chorus]
Are roses blue and violets red?
Say it isn't true
Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up your sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All your dreams are just a kiss away...
[Verse 2]
I ask you for a letter
So you e-mailed
Have we failed?
Oh, you kiss with such a potential
Then ask to speed up
It's not enough
Now I am carrying my own bags up
17 flights of stairs, love
[Chorus]
Are roses blue and violets red?
Say it isn't true
Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up your sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All your dreams are just a kiss away...
[Bridge]
You shouldn't take just Valentine's Day
Just to show you love me
You don't need any money
Just a bit of imagination
Are roses blue and violets red?
Say it isn't true
Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up your sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All your dreams are just a kiss away
[Chorus]
Are roses blue and violets red?
Say it isn't true
Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up your sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All your dreams...
[Chorus]
Are roses blue and violets red?
Say it isn't true
Don't tell me romance is dead
So wake up your sleepy head
Think of all the magic we could make
All your dreams are just a kiss away!
