Weed Instead of Roses

[Verse 1]

Baby, we've been together for a long, long time

You get home from work and then we just turn out the lights

Lately I've been dreaming, you in leather, me in lace

Let's put up the teddy bears and get out the whips and chains

[Chorus]

Give me weed instead of roses, bring me whiskey instead of wine

Every puff, every shot, you're looking better all the time

I don't need a card from Hallmark, box of candy, heaven knows

Give me weed instead of roses and let's see where it goes

[Verse 2]

Honey, you don't have to worry, there ain't no one else for me

And lately we have fallen under the same routine

I ain't getting any younger, oh, but you don't seem to care

Let's trade in the boxers for some sexy underwear

[Chorus]

Give me weed instead of roses, give me whiskey instead of wine

Every puff, every shot, you're looking better all the time

I don't need a card from Hallmark, box of candy, heaven knows

Give me weed instead of roses and let's see where it goes

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Let's send the kids to grandma and call in sick to work

Put on some heavy metal, rip the phone off of the hook

Go call your no-good brother, we both know what he's been growing

I'll be waiting with the whipped cream, and baby, let's get going

[Chorus]

Give me weed instead of roses, give me whiskey instead of wine

Every puff, every shot, you're looking better all the time

I don't need a card from Hallmark, box of candy, heaven knows

Give me weed instead of roses and let's see where it goes

[Outro]

You pull out the Polaroid and I'll strike a couple poses

Oh, let's get a little wild, bring me weed instead of roses
