Lyric Flowers After The Fact

(Tom Shapiro/Terri Clark/Chris Waters)

Ten days too late you show up
With a sheepish grin and a bouquet in your hand
You make mistakes by the dozen
Don t think you can make it up the same way again

Flowers after the fact
Ain t gonna get me back
You gotta do something sooner and better than that
When you bring red roses
There s an ulterior motive
Don t give me flowers after the fact

No part of your heart s ever in it,
You re just trying to get your foot back in the door
I might feel like you meant it
If those long stems had come in the name of love before

Flowers after the fact
Ain t gonna get me back
You gotta do something sooner and better than that
When you bring red roses
There s an ulterior motive
Don t give me flowers after the fact

When you bring me red roses
There s an ulterior motive
Don t need no flowers after the fact
Now don t give me flowers after the fact
