Intro

Verse 1

You didn't see my valentine

I sent it via pantomime

While you were watching someone else

I stared at you and cut myself

It's all I'll do cuz I'm not free

A fugitive too dull to flee

I'm amorous but out of reach

A still life drawing of a peach

Chorus

I'm a tulip in a cup

I stand no chance of growing up

I've made my peace, I'm dead, I'm done

I'll watch you live to have my fun

 I root for you

 I love you

 You you you you

 I root for you

 I love you

You you you

Verse 2

I made it to a dinner date

My teardrops seasoned every plate

I tried to dance but lost my nerve

I cramped up in the learning curve

(Optional double bass/strings bridge)

Chorus

I'm a tulip in a cup

I stand no chance of growing up

I'm resigned to sail on through

In the wake of tales of you

 I root for you

 I love you

 You you you you

 I root for you

 I love you

 You you you you

 I root for you

 I love you

 You you you you

 I root for you

 I love you

You you you
