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

Thank you for joining us here at June Theatre

And we will see you all next week
