Tell her you care
Each time you speak
Make it her birthday
Each day of the week
Bring her nice things
Sugar and spice things
Roses and lollipops
And lollipops and roses
One day she'll smile
Next day she'll cry
Minute to minute
You'll never know why
Coax her, pet her
Better yet, get her
Roses and lollipops
And lollipops and roses
We try acting grownup
But as a rule
We're all little children
Fresh from school
So, carry her books
That's how it starts
Fourteen or forty
They're kids
In their hearts
Keep them handy
Flowers and candy
Roses and lollipops
And lollipops and roses
So, carry her books
That's how it starts
Fourteen or forty
They're kids
In their hearts
Keep them handy
Flowers and candy
Roses and lollipops
And lollipops...
And roses...
