Flowers After The Fact

(tom shapiro/terri clark/chris waters)



Ten days too late you show up

With a sheepish grin and a bouquet in your hand

You make mistakes by the dozen

Don't think you can make it up the same way again



Flowers after the fact

Ain't gonna get me back

You gotta do something sooner and better than that

When you bring red roses

There's an ulterior motive

Don't give me flowers after the fact



No part of your heart's ever in it,

You're just trying to get your foot back in the door

I might feel like you meant it

If those long stems had come in the name of love before



Flowers after the fact

Ain't gonna get me back

You gotta do something sooner and better than that

When you bring red roses

There's an ulterior motive

Don't give me flowers after the fact



When you bring me red roses

There's an ulterior motive

Don't need no flowers after the fact

Now don't give me flowers after the fact
