Garage Flowers

My mother was a mail-order bride But my father was a fool till the day he died So is it any wonder I'm not good enough for you I'm just gonna leave these garage flowers and push on through Hey, honey, I was wond'ring where you've been 'Cause if you don't ring the bell, then you won't get in I'm not getting any younger waiting home alone for you If you're just gonna leave your garage flowers and push on through Hey baby, I'll never live up to you in your ivory tower There's not enough room for two Not for me and you So I sing you my second-rate serenade And bring you half-cut flowers and I'm half-afraid of you But I'm half in love Said with a cough And the price scratched off My mother only ran with a chosen few And she would not approve of a man like you Well, she was never happy all alone with a bird's-eye view And me, I wouldn't mind if you took me down just a peg or two I don't want too much and I don't know what I need And a bar on a Friday night is about my speed So meet me in the middle baby, come on down just a peg or two And we can take a walk around some common ground, just me and you Hey baby, I'll never live up to you in your ivory tower There's not enough room for two Not for me and you So I sing you my second-rate serenade And bring you half-cut flowers and I'm half-afraid of you But I'm half in love Said with a cough And the sticker pulled off
