I’m running out of money so this will have to do
But I made this special from napkins this little paper flower
I did it because I found you beautiful before me
Since your love is cheap, just as a little paper flower
I think you’re very special, too, with eyes so fine
So I’ll give you something better, this little wildflower
I picked it to put behind your ear so smooth
Because it’s easy to reach from here, like a little wildflower
But you are a masterpiece of womanly creation to admire
And for your fair face, I present this little bought flower
I’ll hand it over with a flourish to impress you
As I know your heart is easily moved by my little bought flower
And now that I’ve taken what I want from you
You’ll keep that memory beside your little dead flower
I’ve spent you with all those gifts of little flowers
And you never once noticed how they faded into nothing
