From my first glance of you
at the games
I knew
that you were someone
special
It didn't take long for me
to befriend you
I found you charming
just the way you were
The school year ended and then began
One day you found me alone
blushing, confessed your love
Two-penny roses
Two-penny roses
Were all you could afford
for me
Two-penny roses
Two-penny roses
I accepted your story
blindly
Then the other day
at the park
We had such a
great time together
If only I knew
The next day
my heart was broken into two
When she turned up
and you instantly left me for her
I saw how you treated her
and wouldn't me
And I realised what this meant
Two-penny roses
Two-penny roses
I imagined us living
a life of love
Two-penny roses
Two-penny roses
Why did you leave me
the moment you saw her
The next year
we hadn't broken up
You in the same class
as her and not me
But I clenched hope
One day I saw two lovebirds holding hands
at once I knew
We were over
this was the end
I heard that you lavished
gifts and love on her
I didn't even ask for one present
But couldn't you even
afford me love?
Two-penny roses
Two-penny roses
When I last saw you
I saw truth in your eyes
Two-penny roses
Two-penny roses
Spare me the misery
Bittersweet memories
