Romance Is Dead lyrics

The plastic flowers you gave,

sit on the table

so unstable.

And there are some greasy finger prints

in the pre-wrote birthday card you wrote your name in

And I know that you make your effort but I think you could do much better

Are roses blue and violets red?

Say it isn't true

Don't tell me romance is dead

So wake up your sleepy head

All your dreams are just a kiss away...

I ask you for a letter

so you e-mailed,

Have we failed?

Oh, you kiss with such a potential, then ask to speed up

It's not enough

now I am carrying my own bags up, 17 flights of stairs, love

Are roses blue and violets red?

Say it isn't true

Don't tell me romance is dead

So wake up your sleepy head

All your dreams are just a kiss away...

You shouldn't take just Valentine's Day just to show you love me

You don't need any money, just a bit of imagination

Are roses blue and violets red?

Say it isn't true

Don't tell me romance is dead

So wake up your sleepy head

Think of all the magic we could make

All your dreams are just a kiss away

Are roses blue and violets red?

Say it isn't true

Don't tell me romance is dead

So wake up your sleepy head

Think of all the magic we could make

All your dreams...

Are roses blue and violets red?

Say it isn't true

Don't tell me romance is dead

So wake up your sleepy head

Think of all the magic we could make

All your dreams are just a kiss away!
