Twelve Red Roses Song Lyrics
Twelve Red Roses by Betty Harris Tweee- eeellve red roses. (horns) Tweee- (do, do, da-doo...)
Eeellve red roses (do, do, da-doo... ooh! )
Heart aches, misery, itâs about to get the best of me
12 red roses donât mean a thing, Iâm gonna throw âem away one by
One & left standing in the rain
(One) this One reminds me the day I met you all the lives & loves &
Assembled affections
(Two) representing the good times together
(Three) this one keeps on changing like the weather
(Four) Oh, that 4, that horrible Four, when you walked out that
Door. Di- vorce my divorcee @ Four oâclock in the morning, I sing, I
never see you no more (oooh! )
(Five) Five knocks a rappinâ on my door
(Six) Six steps I made it a- cross my floor
(Seveee-n) Seven Heaven & Iâm back in your arms, en- thused by
The wonders of your many charms
(Eight) Eight days a week Iâm sitting waiting for you
(Nine) Nine out of (Ten) ten times you didnât come true
(âleveee-n) Now, number Eleven brought tears to my eyes, you used
An e- leven page letter just to say goodbye
(Twelve) This oneâs under the water, I canât see it very clear.
Representing my future, (my future, my future! )
Tweee- eeellve red roses. (horns) Tweee- (do, do, da- doo...)
Eeellve red roses (do, do, da-doo... ooh! )
