Lyrics
I've given you sunshine
I've provided abundant sunlight for you.
I've given you dirt
I've given you the necessary soil for growth.
You've given me nothing
You haven't reciprocated with anything positive.
But heartache and hurt
Instead, you've caused me emotional pain and suffering.
I'm beggin' you sweetly
I'm pleading with you in a sweet manner.
I'm down on my knees
I'm in a vulnerable position, expressing my plea on my knees.
Oh, please grow for me!
Please, show signs of growth for my efforts and care.
I've given you plant food
I've supplied you with nutrients through plant food.
And water to sip
You've been given water for hydration.
I've given you potash
Potash, a fertilizer, has been given to enhance growth.
You've given me zip
You haven't responded with any positive results.
Oh God, how I mist you
An expression of longing or yearning for positive growth.
Oh pod, how you tease
A play on words, possibly referencing a plant pod, teasingly asking for growth.
Now, please grow for me!
Once again, a plea for the plant to grow as a response to care.
I've given you southern exposure
I've provided you with a location with ample sunlight from the south.
To get you to thrive
Efforts have been made to ensure your thriving and flourishing.
I've pinched you back hard
I've pruned you forcefully, as is customary for better growth.
Like I'm s'posed ta
A reminder of the expected response from the plant.
You're barely alive
You are barely surviving despite my efforts.
I've tried you at levels of moisture
I've experimented with varying levels of moisture for your benefit.
From desert to mud
From extremely dry conditions to very wet ones, seeking the right balance.
I've given you grow-lights
Artificial grow-lights have been provided for additional support.
And mineral supplements
You've been given mineral supplements to enhance your growth.
What do you want from me, blood?
An exasperated plea questioning what more can be done for positive results.
