Grow for Me

Aw, Two-ey, I don't know what else to do for you
Mr. Mushnik and Audrey, they just met you but I've been going through this with you for weeks
Grow and wilt
Spurt and flop
Are you sickly, little plant, or you just plain stubborn?
What is it you want?
What is it you need?

I've given you sunshine
I've given you dirt
You've given me nothin'
But heartache and hurt
I'm beggin' you sweetly
I'm down on my knees
Oh, please, grow for me

I've given you plant food
And water to sip
I've given you potash
You've given me zip!
Oh God, how I mist you
Oh, pod, how you tease
Now, please, grow for me

I've given you southern exposure
To get you to thrive
I've pinched you back hard
Like I'm s'posed to
You're barely alive
I've tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud
I've given you grow-lights
And mineral supplements
What do you want from me? Blood?!

Ow!
Damn rose, damn thorns, clumsy me
Hey, Two-ey, look what I–
Hey, you opened up!
I wonder what made you do that?
I think I know what made you do that!
Well, I guess a few drops couldn't hurt
'Long as you don't make a habit out of it or anything

I've given you sunlight
I've given you rain
Looks like you're not happy
'Less I open a vein
I'll give you a few drops
If that'll appease
Now, please, oh please
Grow for me?
