These flowers are coming up wild   They're coming up, they're coming up   They're coming up wild   These flowers are coming up wild   They're coming up, they're coming up   They're coming up wild      They are like those children   Go off to school and don't come back   And I am like their mother   Waiting around about to crack      Crack   Crack   I want them back   Crack   Crack   I want them back   Back   Back   Back      You are like a flower   You rise and rise to the sun   You do not look back at where you came from   I wanna be like that   That   That   That      And the boys they run faster   And they throw harder   And they get stronger   And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone   I wanna be like that   That   That   That      And the girls they are pretty   And they get silly   When they get giddy   And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone   I wanna be like that   That      I'm on my knees in the corner   Wiping my floor, wiping my floor, yeah   And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone   I wanna be like that   That   That   That      These flowers are coming up wild   They're coming up, they're coming up   They're coming up wild
