Doghouse Flowers

Story Behind The Song

as a young newlywed, still mad about something, i once told my husband that i didn't want his doghouse flowers. but then i didn't get any flowers for about a year. so i asked him about it, and he said "you said you didn't want any flowers". so to clear things up and explain all the reasons i would like to get flowers...i wrote this. ps. i've been told by some women that they got flowers the very next day after playing this song for their man. ;)

Lyrics

Doghouse Flowers

a girl likes getting flowers for no reason
or just to tell her that you care
to celebrate, or decorate the season
but don't go and send no doghouse flowers here

send me no doghouse flowers
and take back the lies you gave to me
send me no doghouse flowers
save yourself some money, boy
the truth is still free

it may be that you're truly sorry
or that you haven't got a clue
either way it's such a waste my darlin'
spare yourself the trouble, just tell the truth

send me no doghouse flowers
and take back the lies you gave to me
send me no doghouse flowers
save yourself some money, boy
the truth is still free

no roses of red, no violets of blue
when you're in the doghouse, no ftd'll do
