She's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot

This one's yours and yours is self obsessed

I've never seen you before today

I'm just the one that makes you think of the one

But thank you for the roses for the roses
Expressing gratitude for roses received.
So thank you for the roses for the roses
Repetition of gratitude for roses, emphasizing appreciation.
Thank you for the roses for the roses (2 times)
Repetition of thanks for the roses, underscoring gratitude (2 times).
