A Flower |
A flower, according to Mr. Billy Strayhorn |
Now defunct, is a lovesome thing |
I would have wondered, yes, I wonder |
If it really brings you all the joy |
And happiness it’s supposed to bring |
People say to me, they say «I've got the key |
Yes, I’ve got the key to happiness and prosperity» |
You got love, you got love |
Everybody got love |
You got love, everybody |
You need real good vibrations |
You need real good vibrations |
You need real good vibrations |
You need real good vibrations |
And then you love everybody |
Better than you do yourself |
«That's the point of the exercise», they say |
I would have wondered what would happen |
If we made ourselves up a whole gang of flowers |
Out of spring steel and razor blades |
An' painted them all over in pretty colours |
Perfume them with all the sweet scents of Arabia |
Then, if anybody interfered with us |
We could give them a real mark of our affection |
You can’t love, you can’t love everybody |
You can’t love, you can’t love everybody |
'Cause they ain’t all the same people |
I said, they ain’t all the same people |
Oh, they ain’t all the same people |
They ain’t all the same people |
And I love me, baby, better than you do yourself |
Well, think about it |
