LYRICS: Kali Uchis – I Wish you Roses

[Chorus]

Ooh, never thought I would be without you

I wish you love, I wish you well

I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em

With pretty flowers can come the bee sting (Ooh, never thought I would be without you)

But I wish you love, I wish you well

I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em

[Verse]

I was a rose in a garden of weeds

My petals are soft and silky as my sheets

So do not be afraid to get pricked by the thorns

While I’m here, I’m someone to honor

When I’m gone, I’m someone to mourn

But if you and my heart should someday drift apart

I’ll make sure to give you these blessings because they’re all I’ve got

My love’s deep as the ocean, don’t you drown on me

Just know, any love I gave you’s forever yours to keep

[Refrain]

Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses

I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses

I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

[Chorus]

Ooh, never thought I would be without you

I wish you love, I wish you well

I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em

With pretty flowers can come the bee sting (Ooh, never thought I would be without you)

But I wish you love, I wish you well

I wish you roses while you can still smell ’em

[Refrain]

Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses (I wish you roses)

I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses (I wish you roses)

Ooh, I wish you roses and roses and roses and roses and roses

I wish you roses, yeah, roses, roses

[Outro]

You’re gonna want me back

You’re gonna want me bad

You’re gonna—

You know we can’t do that

You know we can’t do that

You know we—
