Purple Velvet Roses lyrics

Her boyfriend dumped her for another girl

She cried her eyes out in her lonely world

She was just 18 and for all she knew

The man of her dreams just walked out the door

She smoked 'em all and she drank a lot

In her empty room, that was all she got

She lived at night and she slept through the day

Became the talk of the town, she tried to hide away

I'd like some purple velvet roses

Give me some purple velvet roses, please

Sir, can you help me?

I'd like some purple velvet roses, please

Sir, can you help me?

Now the story goes that she went back to school

Studied for lawyer there and then she sued, sued, sued

All the men who did her wrong

Committing adultery by loving young blondes

I'd like some purple velvet roses

Give me some purple velvet roses, please

Sir, can you help me?

I'd like some purple velvet roses, please

Sir, can you help me?

Now there is one thing that could cheer her up

That's to visit the local flower shop

She walked straight to the counter there

And this is what she asked the man

I'd like some purple velvet roses

Give me some purple velvet roses, please

Sir, can you help me?

I'd like some purple velvet roses, please

Sir, can you help me?

I'd like some purple velvet roses, please

Sir, can you help me?

I'd like some purple velvet roses, please

Sir, can you help me?
