When I Speak To the Flowers

in AlbumMatthew & Son

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard

They tell me to leave you, leave you behind

They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.

They tell me to leave you, leave you behind

Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.

I know you run around and you'll never settle down

And I should quit while I'm still on top

but when you hold me baby in your lovin' arms

I could love you forever baby, but

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard

They tell me to leave you, leave you behind

They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.

They tell me to leave you, just leave you behind

Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.
