I Won't Send Roses - 1974 Original Broadway Cast

I won't send roses
or hold the door.
I won't remember
which dress you wore.

My heart is too much in control,
the lack of romance in my soul
will turn you gray, kid
so stay away, kid.

Forget my shoulder
when you're in need
forgetting birthdays is guaranteed.

And should I love you, you would be
the last to know.

I won't send roses
and roses suit you so.

My pace is frantic
my temper's cross.
With words romantic,
I'm at a loss.

I'd be the first one to agree,
that I'm preoccupied with me.
And it's inbred, kid
so keep your head, kid.

In me you'll find things
like guts and nerve.
But not the kind things
that you deserve
and so, while there's a fighting chance just turn and go.

I won't send roses
and roses suit you sooo.
