Flowers (Say My Name) Lyrics

[Chorus: ArrDee]
I don't give girls flowers, I'll give you good wood though
If you want me all for yourself, then, darling, you probably should go
There's no way I'ma stand in the rain
I can still make you say my name, say my name, say my name
Life without me might drive you insane
I don't give girls flowers, I'll give you good wood though
If you want me all for yourself, then, darling, you probably should go
There's no way I'ma stand in the rain
I can still make you say my name, say my name, say my name
Life without me might drive you insane


[Verse 2: ArrDee]
Might drive you crazy, psycho
I'm wavy so I'm textin' typos
But you know what I'm on, come mine, girl
We can stay up all night 'til the light show (Come through)

She said, "If I'm comin', I'm comin' to talk
Ain't comin' to cum 'cause I'm done and I'm bored
Not some little whore who will come anytime that you call
We ain't cool anymore"

[Bridge: ArrDee]
Ahh, tsk, why you gotta be like that?
You know you'll miss me and you'll be right back
And you're not a whore, you shouldn't speak like that
I'm nothin' but honest, you know how it is
The life that I live, I don't want a chick, I don't wanna settle
You know you're my favourite petal, but-

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

I know this track samples a love song 2001 single “Flowers” by Sweet Female Attitude, but I couldn’t come corny on this. It’s a drill song, even if it is a little pop-sounding, so I needed to keep it authentic to me. I dropped the first bar to my managers, pacing up and down the room, which is how I usually write, and they burst out laughing, which was the sign for me!
