Hyacinth (Strings)

I think my green thumb has led me to a real one
So glad the soil has yielded something more than bad luck
Oh, I began to believe nature's magic was reserved for bees
Not for the men I meet
Yeah, ooh-oh-oh
But those who sleep with flower by their head
Wake up with a lover in their bed

Don't tell me the universe ain't listening
I went to bed single, now I'm kissing
A man that was once a hyacinth
A man that was once a hyacinth

Don't tell me the universe ain't listening
I went to bed single, now I'm kissing
A man that was once a hyacinth
A man that was once a hyacinth

Hmm, mmm, mmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm, mmm

He never played football, but look at how he holds me (holds me)
He never needed silverware, but I'm his little spoon
And all the soup on his mouth came from me
Distant men ain't fine as they used to be
The handsomest guys are caring and nearby lie
Life has taught me, life has shown (shown)
All the love I need is home, is home

Don't tell me the universe ain't listening
I went to bed single, now I'm kissing
A man that was once a hyacinth
A man that was once a hyacinth

Don't tell me the universe ain't listening
I went to bed single, now I'm kissing
A man that was once a hyacinth
A man that was once a hyacinth
