Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ah Tui
I don't know what else to do for you
Mr. Mushnick and Audrey they only just met you
But I've been going through this with you for weeks
Grow and wilt
Spirt and flap
Are you sickly little plant?
Or are you just plain stubborn?
What is it you want?
What is it you need?
[Verse 2]
I've given you sunshine
I've give you dirt
You've given me nothing
But heartache and hurt
[Verse 3]
I'm beggin' you sweetly
I'm down on my knees
Oh, please grow for me
[Verse 4]
I've given you plant food
And water to sip
I've given you potash
You've given me zip
[Verse 5]
Oh God, how I mist you
Oh pod, how you tease
Now please grown for me
[Verse 6]
I've given you southern exposure
To get you to thrive
I've pinched ya back hard like I'm supposed to
You're barely alive
[Verse 7]
I've tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud
I've given you growlights
And mineral supplements
What do you want from me, blood?
[Verse 8]
Ouch
Damn roses, damn thorns
Clumsy me
Look what I did, Tui
Hey, you're opening up
Who made you do that?
I think I know what made you do that
Well I guess a few drops couldn't hurt
Long as you don't make a habit out of it or anything
[Verse 9]
I've given you sunshine
I've given you rain
Looks like you're not happy
Less I open a vein
[Verse 10]
I'll give you a few drops
If that'll appease
Now please, oh please grow for me
