lyrics

dandelion doesn’t think he’s beautiful
he asks me why i love him
the other flowers are much prettier than he is
but i’m in awe of his persistence and golden presentation
cause despite all the resistance
he’s a master of adaptation

dandelion
oh dandelion,
will you be my valentine?

dandelion doesn’t think he’s worth my time
he says “you don't deserve me”
he thinks i’d rather be with someone else
but he’s a poet, speaking softly to me when we are alone
and my heart it does a tap dance when he buzzes up my phone

you could fill a garden with flowers of every color
roses and forget-me-nots bloom with all the others
all those lovely petals are nothing but a bore
i’ll still sit beside him
on the sidewalk forevermore
