[Chorus]
Give me my flowers while I'm here
So when I'm dead and gone
You won't have to cry no tears for me
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me
Give me my flowers while I'm here
So when I'm dead and gone
You won't have to cry no tears for me
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me
[Verse 1]
I live my life without a fucking regret
You do me dirty, I forgive you but I won't forget
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na) Nah
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
I'm always skating on thin ice, never scared
So if the sky was falling, Heaven knows I'm well prepared
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na) Mm-hmm
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a mad bitch some peace
Take a rusty nigga some grease
Take a heart off the sleeve (Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo-ooh)
Blow a bouquet on me
At least a dozen or three
Don't cost a thing, it's free (Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo-ooh)
[Chorus]
Give me my flowers while I'm here
So when I'm dead and gone
You won't have to cry no tears for me (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me
Give me my flowers while I'm here
So when I'm dead and gone
You won't have to cry no tears for me (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me
[Verse 2]
I go Aretha when I get my respect
So if you're coming for me, know you better come correct
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na, ooh)
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
I'm big on promises, it's never a threat
My shit don't stink, I smell the roses and they smell like checks
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
(Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
[Pre-Chorus]
Take the buzz from a bee
Take a root from a tree
Take a heart off a sleeve (Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo-ooh)
Blow a bouquet on me
At least a dozen or three
Don't cost a thing, it's free (Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo-ooh)
[Chorus]
Give me my flowers while I'm here
So when I'm dead and gone
You won't have to cry no tears for me (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me
Give me my flowers while I'm here
So when I'm dead and gone
You won't have to cry no tears for me (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Gi-gi-gi, give me, give me, give me
