Lyrics
I'm sending you red roses and violets (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
And I truly, truly believe, yes I do
In spite of the way you're acting that you love me too
C'mon and say you do too
You try to keep me away, girl
Just to prove that 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
'Cause I really love you ('cause I really love you)
And I truly, truly believe, yes I do (yes I do)
It's as the way you're acting that you love me too
C'mon and say you do (oh-oh, 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 too
So baby c'mon and say you love me too
I say (I truly believe, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do)
(I truly believe, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do)
(I truly believe, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do)
