[Verse 1]
La, la, la
This is a poem called, "Roses are Red"
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm so fucking glad I'm not in a relationship with you
Bitch
[Verse 2]
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
[Verse 3]
We were tighter than a miser
Always kicked it like a miter
Wherever she resided you could find me right beside her
I used to play it down as if I only kinda liked her
My flirty little disses made her eyes shine brighter
I used to think, "How the hell did I find her?"
Watching as she carefully applied her eyeliner
Mystified by her
I was suckered in until she had me
Dancing to her tune just like the pied piper
I was none the wiser, blindly in love
Oblivious to the fact that in time she'd switch up
And she did switch up, proper flipped out
Always on the war path looking for a big row
And I'd oblige, I mean, come on, I got a big mouth
Aiming at her high horse, tryna knock the thing down
Eventually I got kicked out
But I'd rather go back to sleeping rough
Than with that bitch now
[Verse 4]
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
[Verse 5]
With the last lass I had things started out casually
The type of girl that I would hang around happily
I became attached to her ever so gradually
Then naturally, it turned into a fucking shit factory
What a catastrophe, an absolute mess
A new missus with a bag of new stress
Sometimes I had an attitude, yes
But when I'm treated like a mug, that's just what you have to expect
Jealousy, scrutiny, stressing me, stupidly
Messing with my head, till it affected me musically
I can't explain the nightmare that it grew to be
What a huge relief to be away from that lunacy
Usually, I'm really not the type of guy to hold a grudge
And I know that falling out of love is part of growing up
But when your lady's acting crazy like she's smoking dust
You better on your one's 'cause two can be as lonely, trust
[Verse 6]
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
[Verse 7]
What you crying for?
What you crying for?
I didn't do anything
What you crying for?
You gonna tell me what the problem is?
How could I make it better if you don't tell me what the problem is?
You know, crying makes you look really fat
[Verse 8]
All the characters appearing in the song are fictitious
Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead
Is purely coincidental
Honestly
