Bougainvillea Blues

[Verse 1]
You and me are different
You take for granted that I don’t have a clue

[Refrain]
I brought you orange blossoms
You had Bougainvillea Blues

[Verse 2]
Tumble like a Jacob’s ladder
Fumble the bag when it comes to you

[Refrain]
I brought you orange blossoms
You had Bougainvillea Blues

[Chorus]
(Leave if you’re gonna leave!)
If you’re gonna go, baby just go
(Seems like you wanna!)
Seems like you got one foot out the door
It’s not a crime that you would rather be on your own

[Verse 3]
I’m wide awake in the mornin’
I turn over and you’re smashing the snooze

[Refrain]
I brought you orange blossoms
You had Bougainvillea Blues

[Verse 4]
You cried a river, baby
I tried to cross it in a paper canoe

[Refrain]
I brought you orange blossoms
You had Bougainvillea Blues

[Chorus]
(Leave if you’re gonna leave!)
Maybe it’s leavin’ time
(Seems like you wanna!)
Not like it never crossed my mind
Maybe it’s fine that we would rather be on our own

[Outro]
(On our own…)
(On our own…)
(On our own…)
(On our own…) Oh! Maybe it’s quitting time
(On our own…) Be on our own
(On our own…)
