"Send Me No Flowers"
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)

Send me no flowers
Send me no flowers
Just want your arms around me
Your ever lovin' arms around me
You sent me flowers and a 'Get well' card
After you had broken my heart

Violets that were blue
Reminded me you'd never be true
So send me no flowers
Don't need any flowers
Because your kissin', baby
Is what I'm missin', baby

When I'm at home, all alone
You don't even bother, bother to phone
A little affection sometimes
Will sooth this heart of mine
But you send me flowers
To ease my lonely hours

Send me no flowers
Don't need any flowers
Just need your kissin', baby
And I don't mean maybe, baby

Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
To soothe this heart of mine

Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
To soothe this heart of mine

Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
To soothe this heart of mine
