Lyrics The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5

Petals

When my honey says she loves me so

Believe me, ya'll, it's far from status quo

A grain of salt I take with her heart

'Cause after her next breath, that girl may love me not.

She tells my I'm so sweet

Sugar can't compete

Then puts me on the shelf

Crying by myself.

Throwing petals, petals, tossing petals on the ground

Yesterday she picked me up just to throw me down

Those petals, petals, tell me what will it be today?

Will she walk into my arms or will she walk away?

She'll wake up some day and see

You're the only one she needs

Don't give up, just stick around

You'll be up instead of down.

She keeps telling me she wants me near

But half the time it's far from crystal clear

Fickle-heart must be her middle name

'Cause loving her is just a guessing game, oh

She calls up to say

Be there right away

Then leaves me sitting home

All alone and

Throwing all those petals, petals, tossing petals on the ground

Yesterday she picked me up just to throw me down

Those petals, petals, tell me what will it be today?

Will she walk into my arms or will she walk away?

She loves me (loves me, loves me)

And I feel like a king!

She loves me not (loves me not, she loves me not)

Huh! I've lost everything!

Petals, petals, tossing petals on the ground

Yesterday she picked me up just to thow me down

Yesterday I couldn't lose (yesterday I couldn't lose)

But today I sing the blues.

Oh! Petals, petals, petals, petals

Ooh, ooh! Petals, petals, petals, petals

Petals, petals, petals, petals

Petals, petals, petals, petals

Petals, petals, tossing petals on the ground

Yesterday she picked me up just to thow me down

Tell me, tell me, tell me, what will it be today?
