Lyrics
I'll bring you roses
I promise to bring you roses.
A pocket full of roses like you wanted
I'll bring a pocket full of roses as you desire.
Wild cut just like you like from an endangered tree
I'll get wild-cut roses from an endangered tree, just the way you like.
Would you do that for me
Asking if you would reciprocate such efforts for me.
I'll bring you diamonds
I promise to bring you diamonds.
Stolen from the hands of little children
Diamonds obtained by taking advantage of children's labor.
Who's backs are breaking in the sun way down in Africa
Children working in harsh conditions in Africa.
But they do it for love
Recognizing their sacrifice for love.
Why
Prompting for an explanation of the reason behind certain actions.
Why do you run away
Questioning the tendency to run away.
I
Expressing a personal feeling.
Feel like you have to say
Suggesting a need to verbalize one's emotions.
I'm crazy in love
Declaring intense love and passion.
I'll build you houses
I promise to build you houses.
A neighborhood of houses like the suburbs
Houses reminiscent of the suburbs where you grew up.
Where you grew up so you'll never feel away from home
To ensure you never feel far from home.
I'll never leave you alone
Committing to always be there for you.
I'll sail the oceans
I promise to sail the oceans.
Sinking all the ships in all the navies
Willing to sink all ships, asserting exclusive belonging.
I've every right caus every one belongs exclusively
Claiming ownership of everything as "you and me."
To you and Me
Emphasizing the shared exclusivity.
