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?
