Plastic Plants

Lyrics

I wanna love you like in movies
 A ticket for two, please
 You could've been that man
 If this was really showbiz, you would give me roses
 And I would take your hand, ah
 Hollywood made it look easy
 Why'd it have to tease me?
 I don't understand
 I tried to love like in the movies
 But, all I got was plastic plants
 (All I got was plastic plants)
 (All I got was plastic plants)
 I've got something inside me
 That I wanna confess (Wanna confess)
 You've been cutting your ties and
 I don't wanna be next (Wanna be next)
 I've (I've) got (Got) something inside me
 That (That) I (I) wanna confess (Wanna confess)
 If your roses are dead and your violets ain't true
 I don't wanna grow next to you
 I thought that our love would be a series
 Always have you near me
 Yeah, that was the plan
 You were meant to call me on the daily
 Link me like a daisy chain up on my hair
 Hollywood made me think it was simple
 I took it too literal
 Now I understand, huh
 I thought you were growing up
 Thought we'd have a real romance, huh (Thought we would)
 But all I got was plastic plants
 I've got something inside me
 That I wanna confess (Wanna confess)
 You've been cutting your ties and
 I don't wanna be next (Wanna be next)
 I've (I've) got (Got) something inside me
 That (That) I (I) wanna confess (Wanna confess)
 If your roses are dead and your violets ain't true
 I don't wanna grow next to you
 You're gonna know what you did when I don't holla back, babe
 Look at me (Look at me)
 I was your girl, but you never gave me jack, babe
 Can't you see? (Can't you see?)
 Now we've grown apart (Yeah, huh)
 Didn't even try, so the love ran dry
 Now we're back at the start
 You had your chance, you just gave me plastic plants
 I've got something inside me
 That I wanna confess (Wanna confess)
 You've been cutting your ties and
 I don't wanna be next (Wanna be next)
 I've (I've) got (Got) something inside me
 That (That) I (I) wanna confess (Wanna confess)
 If your roses are dead and your violets ain't true
 I don't wanna grow next to you (Baby, uh)
 Next to you, next to you, babe, ah
 
 I wanna love you like in movies
 A ticket for two, please
 You could've been that man
 If this was really showbiz, you would give me roses
 And I would take your hand, ah
 Hollywood made it look easy
 Why'd it have to tease me?
 I don't understand
 I tried to love like in the movies
 But, all I got was plastic plants
 (All I got was plastic plants)
 (All I got was plastic plants)
 I've got something inside me
 That I wanna confess (Wanna confess)
 You've been cutting your ties and
 I don't wanna be next (Wanna be next)
 I've (I've) got (Got) something inside me
