Language of Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It just takes patience and an ear for what sounds right.
You've got to plan out your future with the utmost detail,
I'm making sure that his last name works with mine.
Hey man! What's your name?
Could you be my lover?
Married? What a shame.
I don't mind if you're poor.
Got no car? It doesn't matter.
I don't care about your job,
Your family name is my number one aim.
I'm contemplating catchy monikers of future children,
With your donation of the second part of their names.
Hey man! What's your name?
Could you be another?
Single? Are you straight?
Won't you be my lover?
I don't mind if you're poor.
Got no car? It doesn't matter.
I don't care about your job,
Your family name is my number one aim.
My friends are jealous since I got myself a catchy surname,
A loveless marriage is a miniscule price to pay.
I don't mind if you're poor.
Got no car? It doesn't matter.
I don't care about your job,
Your family name is my number one aim.
(x2)
I don't mind if we're poor.
Got no car? It doesn't matter.
I don't care about your job,
Our family name is my family name.
