I don't know why in the world
you love a girl like me
So full of flaws and insecurities
In a world full of roses who'd settle for less
Tall, skinny, shapely having nice breast.
Me, I'm just a dandelion, a simple yellowish flower
Not worthy of the sun or the evening's showers.
I often watch as those roses are chosen
While me I just sit there frozen
Gardeners have tried to pluck me from the earth
Pretending to see me as something they worth
A few were successful to make the dandelion smile
But when they were bored threw me off a mile
And So I had to begin again and find new roots
Hoping that one day maybe I'd shoot.
But After so many heartbreaks i was not looking to leave
So I found home close to the trees.
The trees were a comfort, like none I've ever known
My broken stem and crooked roots healed in this new home
I learned to be wiser and thus then I grew
No wind was strong enough to move me, no rain or dew.
In the distance I noticed some roses catching breath
Had some cruel gardeners left them for dead?
Them maybe I thought, was it just me
Perhaps they got hurt from silly old bees
But at alast then it hit me
Like a nail on a wood
All flowers get hurt that's just the way the world works
In this world we call life
One thing was true
Even the trees seemed to whisper
You'd get hurt soon.
So i promised the trunk of the old sturdy tree
I swore on the birds and I swore on the bees
If ever I wanted to fall in love again
That the wind with its might would sweep away
That it'd uproot this dandelion and send it flying
Cause another kiss from love would feel like dying.
Now we all know that this never came to be
Cause I fell in love when you first looked at me
You were different from the gardeners
Who first wanted a rose.
The dandelion's petals tickeled your nose.
You laughed at the outcome and looked at me
And wondered what flower could this be
I swear that you've been the one from the start
Your smile and love has warmed my heart
I love you so much and it kills me inside
To know that some one this wonderful was alive
So many years I wished to be rose
Just to have someone just to hold
Who'd look at me from the time I walk in
Who'd make me feel comfortable in my skin.
And there you stand in a rose filled pasture
and my heart,palpates and races faster
To know that you could love a girl like me
One so full of countless insecurities
You know them all and you still don't care
And thats more than my heart can bear
Who'd choose a dandelion over a rose.
I wonder why you love me
Maybe nobody knows?
You took this girl and you charmed her life.
With your love you warmed the nights.
The nights that were cold from the moon's shine
Who couldn't have the sun and Call it mine.
You told me a time I remember it well
Its one of the many reasons I fell
You said I fell in love the way you pick a flower
Based on the smell and my favorite color
The things that bring out the beauty in you.
Your eyes and your mouth and your very cute smile
The way you walk with your own little style.
How you never react with justice or strife
And perhaps for those simple reasons I'd love you all my life.
