Lyrics
I'm sending red roses and violets of blue, girl (violets of blue, girl)
The roses mean I love you
The violets mean I'll always be true, girl (be true, girl)
'Cause I really love you ('cause I really love you)
And I truly, truly believe, yes I do (tes I do)
In spite of the way you're acting, that you love me too
Come on and say you do, ooh
You try to keep me away, girl
Just to prove you don't really care
But I believe you feel the same way I do
And this torture just ain't fair (no, this torture just ain't fair)
I'm sending you a bracelet engraved in gold (sending you a bracelet baby)
With, "I love you girl" (love you, girl)
And I'd send my heart if I could to prove I'll always be true, yeah
'Cause I really love you ('cause I really love you)
And I truly, truly believe, yes I do (yes I do)
In spite of the way you're acting, that you love me too
Come on and say you do, ooh
Ooh, say you do
I want you to understand that the red roses and violets of blue, girl (want you to understand)
And that bright shining bracelet helps me, baby, to say I love you (I love you, love you)
'Cause I really love you ('cause I really love you)
And I truly, truly believe, yes I do (yes, I do)
I believe that you love me, so baby
Come on and say you do
I'll say (I truly believe, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do) yes I do
I truly, truly (I truly believe, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do), yes I do
(Truly believe)
