Dozen Roses

I want to plant a dozen roses And why not talk about proposin' Don't wanna hide it 'cuz she knows it So I'm gonna give it all I'll hang my coat and then I'll come home Once I've played the final sad song And in her eyes I'm only human In need of lovin' that is all Life ain't nothing but a story It don't mean nothin' if it ain't got that thrill I wanna be able when I am older To tell my friends we had a ball At first she wouldn't quit playin' hard to get And I knew she thought I wasn't her type Little does she know, I'm like the sweet bouquet That I'll give her when the roses are ripe I want to plant a dozen roses And If not enough another dozen She got me feelin' like a new man So I am gonna give it all Life ain't nothing but a story It don't mean nothin' if it ain't got that thrill I wanna be able when I am older To tell my friends we had a ball Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta I'm gonna plant a dozen roses She knows she can have them all She knows she can have them all She knows she can have them all
