lyrics

I kept these roses now they’re dried and grey
All the color that was in ‘em, it all ran away
Left my heart chalk full of Kerosene
So strike a match and turn my love to confetti

There ain’t no lady, there ain’t no girl
there ain’t no dame in the whole damned world
that could love a man, a man like me
There’s plenty of fish as well as sharks in the deep blue sea

Over, my dreams are over
I tried to hold her, but now I just owe her
what’s left of me. I know I’ve no dignity
but I’d trade it willingly,
if she would just spend one night next to me.

Love ain’t no prom night, love ain’t no dance
Love ain’t no cherry bowl smothered in romance
Love’s a whip and you’re a slave
and it cuts the heart long after the grave.

There ain’t no fairy, there’s just this tale
no one was buyin’ so they put it up on sale.
And now you see, nothing’s for free
There’s plenty of fish as well as sharks in the deep blue sea.
