Flowers on the Wall Songtext

von Brenda Lee

I've been hearing you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience I guess
If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends're worrying 'bout me I'm having lots of fun/

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playing solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do.

Last night I dressed in lace pretending I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doing fine
You can always find me here and having quite a time.

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playing solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do.

It's good to see you I must go I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard down street
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete.

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playing solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do.

Don't tell me I've nothing to do.
Don't tell me I've nothing to do...
