lyrics

Violets are blue
Honey, I gave them all to you
When I placed them in your hands
That's when the roses fell from your lips
And cold, cold heart came out to play

Red Rover, Red Rover
You played to rough, now look at the mess he's in
Mama's gonna have to mend those tears and stains
All over his heart
And that's when he felt the crack, now
Broken heart came out to play

[chorus]
She's got a pocket full of roses
He draws that ring 'round Ole Rosie
Ashes to ashes she leaves us in dust
Oh, when we all fall down
No, no I won't come outside
When Love comes out to play

Seek here, seek there, she's seeking everywhere
In every closet under every chair
But he's keeping to the curtains
and it's just a, just a matter of time
Until he slips through that open window
Hiding heart came out to play

Dodge one, now two, he's on fire
But now his feet are tangled with another
Down for the count, he can't get up
And there's blood everywhere
That's when he took the hit strait in the head
Cheating heart came out to play

[chorus]
