you don’t bring me flowers
no more no more
I heard it through the grapevine
life is a bed of roses, yet found
every rose has its thorn,
more of a thorn in my side
I am willing to reckon with.
besides, supermarket flowers
sweeter than a kiss from a rose.
I never promised you a rose garden
and prefer dandelion fluff
blowin’ in the wind
while on the strawberry swing
than work another
hard days night
in the Octopus’s Garden

I really like this! I think that Lynn Anderson first sang this song but I could be wrong, great stuff.

After researching, it was sung by a few artists, however, I believe Lynn Anderson is most known for it. I changed it to Lynn Anerson. Thanks for the heads up.
