"You Don't Give Love A Chance To Grow"

You don't give love a chance to grow
You're so quick to uproot the flower
To have it for yourself
It's pretty but it never stays
It shrivels and fades away

You could have a garden
You could have a garden
But you don't want to put the time in
You could have a garden
You could have a garden
But you don't want to put the time in

Love needs both sun and rain
But you only give it sunny days
Won't be long before the warmth outside
Is its detriment to life

Leaves turn in anticipation
Petals gaze up at the sky
Don't tear it from its foundation
To be the apple of your eye
It'll wither and die

You could have a garden
You could have a garden
But you don't want to put the time in
You could have a garden
You could have a garden
But you don't want to put the time in
