Violets for Roses

歌詞

There's something in the air The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses With their masks off and it makes me so happy Larchmont Village smells like lilies of the valley And the bookstore doors are opening And it's finally happening Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with me And, boy, does it feel sweet Like a summer breeze Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with the city Like the Paramount sign sparkling Sparkling just for me You made me trade my violets for roses You tried to trade in my new truck for Rollses Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate A simple life, I chose this You made me trade my violets for roses You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and God knows the only mistake that a man can make Is tryna make a woman change and trade her violets for roses Ah-la-ha, ah-ha Trade her violets for roses Ah-la-ha, ah-ha There's something in the air I hope it doesn't change, that it's for real The beginning of something big happening And by the murder alleys In the streets have ceased And still the shadows haunt the avenue The silence is deafening Ever since I fell out of love with you I fell back in love with the streets And, God, does it feel sweet Like a summer breeze Ever since I fell out of love with you I breakdance to the backbeat And, God, does it sound sweet Like it's playing just for me You made me trade my violets for roses You tried to trade in my new truck for Rollses Don't forget all of these things that you love are the same things I hate A simple life, I chose this You made me trade my violets for roses You tried to take all the pink off my toes, and God knows the only mistake that a man can make Is tryin' to make a woman change and trade her violets for roses Ah-la-ha, ah-ha Trade her violets for roses Ah-la-ha, ah-ha Trade her violets for roses (Ah-la-ha, ah-ha) There's something in the air The girls are runnin' 'round in summer dresses With their masks off and it makes me so happy
