She said my shoes were cheap and my clothes were all outdated
She stopped me drinking beer and gave me wine
But I can't hide from what I am just an ordinary man
Trying to make it through the day
As I watch our love so slowly fade away
Like a flower

She said my friends were fools and she won't talk to my brother
She made me sit there and talk to her friends
But I can see it their eyes, they are frowning as they smile
And I didn't have much to say

I just watch our love so slowly fade away
Like a flower
I watch our love so ever slowly fade
Like the summertime
Like the honesty you promised me would stay

She said I gotta change my ways or she's leaving me tommorrow
I said get out of here, leave me alone
And she came crying to my door
Said she liked me as before
But I had a price to pay
Cos at last our love could finally fade away
Like a flower
