Buttercups - Fran Healy

It never rains but it pours

Do keep the wolf from the door

I see him sitting in silence

Quiet as a mouse

I tried to buy you roses

But all the stars were closed

And if I had a diamond ring

I’d wear it through my nose

But I can’t dance and I can’t sing

A loser I suppose

So all I have is buttercups

All I have is buttercups

What is wrong with buttercups

Who knows

You said to have and to hold

Do let me in from the cold

I see you sitting in silence

Inside your house

Quiet as a mouse

I tried to buy you roses

But all the stars were closed

And if I had a diamond ring

I’d wear it through my nose

But I can’t dance and I can’t sing

A loser I suppose

So all I have is buttercups

All I have is buttercups

What is wrong with buttercups

Who knows

And this could be life as we know it

How can I see if you never show it

I tried to buy you roses

But all the stars were closed

I tried to buy you roses

But all the stars were closed

And if I had a diamond ring

I’d wear it through my nose

But I can’t dance and I can’t sing

A loser I suppose

So all I have is buttercups

All I have is buttercups

What is wrong with buttercups

Who knows

Who knows

Who knows
