Lollipops and Roses
Jack and Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make it her birthday each day of the week,
Bring her nice things, sugar and spice things,
Roses and lollipops,
And lollipops and roses . . .
One day she'll smile, next day she'll cry,
Minute to minute, you'll never know why!
Roses and lollipops,
And lollipops and roses . . .
We try acting grown up, but as a rule,
We're all little children, fresh from school . . .
So, carry her books, that's how it starts,
Fourteen to forty, they're kids in their hearts . . .
Keep them handy, flowers and candy,
Roses and lollipops,
And lollipops and roses . . .
The lyrics of "Lollipops And Roses" by Jack Jones are a delightful tribute to the little things that make a relationship special. The song encourages the male partner to express his love to his woman frequently and make her feel special every day. The lyrics state that the man should bring "nice things" such as "sugar and spice things, roses and lollipops," emphasizing the importance of small gestures in a relationship. The song acknowledges that sometimes women's emotions fluctuate from one day to the next, but the man should always be there to coax and pet her.
The second verse of the song reminds us that no matter how old we get, we still crave childlike love and attention. We may act grown-up and mature, but deep down, we are still like children who want to be loved and taken care of. The last verse encourages men to keep these small tokens of affection close at hand to keep their relationships strong.
