lyrics

If they cut open your chest
your heart would sound the same as those
sweet bells chiming in a church tower
you don't need a rose
you need a sunflower

loving her is like driving a motorcycle in loose sand
have some fun, but it ain't gonna get you nowhere
you don't need a rose
you need a sunflower

In a couple a weeks when the newness wears away
and your family and friends don't have the words to say
there she is still running around your mind
but any man will tell you his best mistress was time

stop asking if you should of or if you shouldn't baby
those steel stained fingers deserve the touch of an honest woman
ey, you don't need a rose
you need a sunflower

Oh I said, sun
you need a sunfower
