I Picked A Flower (Single Version) [feat. The Pastels and Jarvis Cocker]
Hey, lovers You must not be lazy Or you will lose her Oh, and it will drive you crazy I found a rose in another man's garden She was flowering all alone Undervalued and unappreciated I knew I had to take her home And though she did not want to betray you I knew that I had her in my power And I drank deep of a sweet and heady nectar And she opened beneath my hand Like a flower I was not looking Not looking for a lover But when I saw her Oh, how could I refuse her? I said: \"He don't deserve you No, he don't even see you But you're turning me on Beauty such as yours should not be left out in the cold Come on in babe it's warm\" Attend well to your garden Cultivate it with love and care Because a rose knows nothing of her beauty Unless you reflect it back to her You've got to reflect it back to her I gave her beauty back to her 'Cos you were never there Or maybe you just didn't dare plant your seed inside her flowerbed So she turned to me instead And as she lays across my big brass bed Your name is mud my friend So lovers Don't you get lazy Or you will lose your love And it will drive you crazy Yeah, it will drive you crazy Oh, it will drive you crazy Yeah
