"The Flower Song"
(Tom Keifer / Jim Peterik)

Standing on the corner watching all the pretty girls go by
And I'm trying to play it so cool as I'm trying to catch their eye
And I know sometimes my wandering eye has brought some rain
So I'm standing out here on this corner trying to find the words to explain

A pretty girl's like a flower
You just gotta stay close to
They come and go like the hour
Whats a guy to do
But when it comes to forever
You know my heart is true
Of all the pretty flowers
Baby I picked you

Many blossoms line the streets a thousand colors that I could choose
And I'm trying to imagine the taste of all the petals I must refuse
And I know there's nothing I can say to ease your mind but I'll try
The days I spend here on this corner are all just passing time

A pretty girl's like a flower
You just gotta stay close to
They come and go like the hour
What's a guy to do
But when it comes to forever
You know my heart is true
Of all the pretty flowers
Baby I picked you
