[Verse 1]
Sorry for the setback
I know I let you down
Turn back the clocks and step back
And spring might come around

[Verse 2]
My little misbegotten
You're quite a stubborn bud
If we can't make you open
We will take it out in blood

[Chorus 1]
We'll make a man out of you yet!
We will plant brambles in your bed!
Just close your eyes and count to ten
This is as good as it will get

[Verse 3]
Oh is our little willow weeping?
Flutter to your knees
The untilled things before me
Oh the possibilities

[Verse 4]
Thank you for the warning
But I still see the sun
A little global warming
Never hurt no one
[Chorus 2]
We'll make a man out of you yet
A crown of thorns around your head
Get off your knees and have a look
This is as good as it will get

[Verse 5]
At last my little flower
Is getting put to use
You've always been a failure
But now you're bearing strange new fruit

[Verse 6]
The insides are all useless
But the rest is fertile, so
I will take the belt from off the hook
And watch the garden grow

[Chorus 3]
We'll make a man out of you yet
You won't know what will hit you next
The gardener's coming to collect
You wanted love?
That's what you get

[Outro]
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
