Lyrics
Aw, Twoey Twoey, I don't know what else do for ya Mr. Mushnik and Audrey, they just met ya But I've been going through this for weeks Grow and wilt, spurt and flop Are you sickly, little plant, or are you just stubborn? What is it you want? What is it you need? I've given you sunshine I've given you dirt You've given me nothing But heartache and hurt I'm begging you sweetly I'm down on my knees Oh, please, grow for me I've given you plant food And water to sip I've given you potash You've given me zip Oh, God, how I've missed you Oh, pod, how you tease Now, please, grow for me I've given you southern exposure To get you to thrive I've pinched your back hard Like I'm s'posed to You're barely alive I've tried you at levels of moisture From desert to mud! I've given you grow lites and mineral supplements What do you want from me, blood? Ow! Damn roses, damn thorns! Clumsy me Hey Twoey, look what happened! Hey, you opened up I wonder what made you do that I think I know what made you do that Well, I guess a few drops couldn't hurt Long as you don't make a habit out of it or anything I've given you sunlight I've given you rain Looks like you're not happy 'Less I open a vein I'll give you a few drops If that'll appease Now please Oh please Ouch! Grow for me? Aw, Twoey Twoey, I don't know what else do for ya Mr. Mushnik and Audrey, they just met ya But I've been going through this for weeks Grow and wilt, spurt and flop Are you sickly, little plant, or are you just stubborn? What is it you want? What is it you need? I've given you sunshine I've given you dirt You've given me nothing But heartache and hurt I'm begging you sweetly I'm down on my knees Oh, please, grow for me I've given you plant food And water to sip I've given you potash You've given me zip Oh, God, how I've missed you Oh, pod, how you tease Now, please, grow for me I've given you southern exposure To get you to thrive I've pinched your back hard Like I'm s'posed to You're barely alive I've tried you at levels of moisture From desert to mud! I've given you grow lites and mineral supplements What do you want from me, blood? Ow! Damn roses, damn thorns! Clumsy me Hey Twoey, look what happened!

Grow for me?
