Pickin' Flowers For

I take a lot of lying
through these two little holes.
Underneath the smile,
I'm scorched over the coals.
I pile up the garbage,
behind everybody's back.
I'm pickin flowers for myself and no one else.

I took the heat for crying,
I'm not crying anymore.
Didn't have to suffer,
yeah, I knew the score.
But I was in too deep,
and because I'm beautiful, I'm pickin' flowers for;
myself and no one else.

(chorus)
and now the dirt feels as fresh as the dew
ashes to ashes my sweet ass.
my sweet.
only thing left to do is to give my clothes away,
to my many friends.yes.
gotta gotta get you back
and I can't get you back.
I want I want I want you back
and god can't get you back.
I need I need I need you back.
and i can't get you back.
I want I want I want it back.
and god cant bring it back.

(repeat chorus, with slight variations on the needs, and gottas, and wants)

If I had just one
If I had just one
If I had Just one.
If I had just one.

If I had just one second,
of your so called precious time.
I could show you in 60 seconds,
one full minute
one full minute of mine.  of mine.

If I had just one dollar,
of your unlimited supply.
I could show you the man of the hour.
Who spends his time..
who spends his time just gettin' by.
gettin' by.

Who walks the streets sometimes for hours,
holding his head in disbelief?
Always asking for permission,
never finds relief.

If I had just one (4x)
(If I had just one)(4x)

Melanie,
you made me forget the reason I ever quit somking.
I'll think about you until you think about me.
Talk about embarrassed:a dream with you in it 
had nothing to dream because you were naked.
you know what they say,
I know how it feels.

(bridge)
I'd age twenty years in five,
if I looked into your eyes,
saw that much time.

(vII)
ahh, Melanie.
If I had a dime for every time I said something stupid.
I'd have sixty three dollars to spend how I please.
yeah, well nothing, matters as much as I get to leave a rich man.
'cause no one can touch me on a shopping spree.

(bridge II)
but I'd give it all away,
for a moment in the sunshine, with
your hand in mine.
(repeat bridge)

Melanie,
your Melanie.
Melanie, Melanie....

(repeat first two lines of vII, then bridge II)
Melanie (4x).

(vI)
I din't get up early,
Enough to wash my clothes.
I turned on the TV,
watched my favorite show.
It didn't get too heavy, so I
didn't get real sad.
Never like the time when
I thought I would never have.
I thought I never have.

(Chrus)
yeah smoke rings always help me to
look back and make me laugh.
Now here's your f***** up point (with you)
It didn't know me, I can last.

and like my (??) picture
I stuck out my tongue
It's just a (?) show up there.
You're my only one, you're my only one.
And I left you a message,
I put it where it should be found.
Its Underneath the pile, 
of s*** you always keep around.
Just wait until I throw it away.

(chorus)(2x) (instead of "laugh", it's "last" first, then 
alternate back and forth)
(chorus again-with more passion.  c'mon, give it everything you 
got)

and you know I want you so bad.
I want to make you mine.
And you know it makes me so sad,
to see you with those guys.

(bridge)
I wanna speak, but I can't get,
your foot from my mouth.
I wanna drink, but I can't drink
enough to make you feel.

and I wanna do you so bad
I wanna do ya' dry.
and you know when it's all over,
I wanna know, I wanna know...

(chorus)
oh, I've been f*****
we got.

(bridge-twice)
