"400 Flowers" lyrics
Alright, hear me out
You ever wanted to be the main character in your own movie
Well, congratulations, um cause you're in this one
So listen
Here's a story (uh huh)
About a regular dude named Cory (okay)
Who has a super regular job in a ten-story
Who likes Pulp Fiction and can sorta be sporty (got it)
And Lisa
Oh, she's sweeter (oh she's sweeter)
Than a soda on the coast of Ibiza
She often sells flowers at the corner off Bleecker
And she loves the States but she's here on a visa (a visa)
You like her a lot
But she don't even know
I swear you've bought like ten tulips and you might buy more
Oh, you pass her every day on the commute back home
And you would look if she's looking but she just looks at her phone
And you want to say that she's beautiful
But you're tryna find the courage to
So you walk away
Well, I've got some news for you (better check the news)
You don't know (woohoo)
You don't know (you don't even know)
That she likes you back
That she does the math
You've bought forty-five flowers to this day
And you know what to say (keep counting)
But you count the days like
Un, deux, trois, quatre
She thinks you should ask her out (okay)
Even though she really doubts
It would ever come about (just ask her out)
But today you got a raise and you're just feeling alive
And so you thought of an idea that you might just try
You would buy like every flower and then make a surprise
Where you would tie 'em all together and come back in the night
(Yeah, yeah)
So you tried it (tried it)
You looked at every single flower, said I'll buy it (I'll buy it)
And she looked you right in the eye and she decided
That she would ask you out to dinner on Friday (here we go)
Now you know (woo)
Now you know
That she likes you back (she likes you back)
That she does the math
You've bought 400 sweet flowers to this day
But y'all don't count no more (you did it)
You just ride away like (you did it)
Well, that's the end of our picture for tonight ladies and gentlemen
