Valentines - Adam Ant

I bought you flowers, to smooth things over

By the time they died, the time they died

The armistice was over

I bought you roses, red ones

To try and chill you out, trouble is

I bought you flowers, to smooth things over

By the time they died, the time they died

The armistice was over

I bought you roses, red ones

To try and chill you out, trouble is

I know the answers

Before you spit them out

Is this love, or just a habit

If it’s love, I never had it

Pray for serenity so no one has to care for me

No I know where the pain is

I know where the hurt is

I know where the problems lie

Is this love, or just a habit

Was I like a frightened rabbit

Caught up in the headlight of your smile

I bought you flowers, to smooth things over

By the time they died, the time they died

The armistice was over

I know you think I long for pastures new

Believe me I want to be with anyone

Anyone but you just my bad behaviour

Four letter words my saviour fuck it

May the last words you hear be mine

And every day a Valentine

We know where the pain is

We know where the hurt is

We know where the problems lie

Don’t expect kindness from strangers

A life that’s free from danger

Pray for serenity

So terrified of losing me

I know where the pain is

I know where the hurt is

I know where the problems lie

I know you think it’s tragic

To heal it with black magic
