One Little Flower More or Less - Stephin Merritt

One little flower more or less

Who cares?

One little hour more or less

Upstairs

When everybody loves you

Nobody ever loves you

One little dancer doesn’t dance

So what?

One little slut doesn’t put out

What slut?

One tree falls in the forest, fine

Let the little whore rest

Who’d ever want to say, «She's mine»?

Who’d ever wed a concubine?

One little flower more or less?

Don’t laugh

One little coward tears her dress

In half

Nobody in the world cries

When one little flower dies

Nobody in the world cries

When one little flower dies
