Boys never change
roses are red
and violets are blue
does he love me back? I haven’t a clue.
roses are red
violets are blue
I saw him today, helping her tie her shoe
roses are red
violets are blue
when he saw her, his pupils grew another inch or two
roses are green
and violets are teal
I hate the way you make me feel
roses are blue
violets are red
this boy is starting to mess with my head
roses are yellow
violets are pink
there's still hope for us, I think.
roses are grey
and violets are black
he kissed her today, right on the neck.
roses are brown
and violets are maroon
how could you fall in love with her so soon?
roses are black
you’ve broken me in half
boys never change, i’ve learnt at last.
