MARIBELL feat. Jimi Tunnell - "Roses Are Red" (1987)

Everyday I'd see him
As he browsed around my store
He would come to buy my flowers
He would notice nothing more
How often I sat dreamin'
Of the day he'd buy a rose
Place it in my hair
And kiss my lips and hold me close

Chorus:
If roses are red and violets are blue
Why can't you see I'm in love with you
If I can feel love as much as I do
Then why aren't you feeling my love for you

I waited while he looked around
It seemed to be for hours
To tell him all the love
That grew along with all the flowers
As I wrapped them up I envied
The girl he'd give them to
Then he handed them right back to me
And said these are for you

Chorus (1x)

If roses are red and violets are blue
Why can't you feel what I want you to
The love I can give both tender and true
Flowers aren't all I can give to you

As I wrapped them up I envied
The girl he'd give them to
Then he handed them right back to me
And said these are for you

Chorus (3x)

I heard about 2 minutes of this song on a crappy mix tape back in the day and tried in vain to find out who this was - thank you YouTube. Twenty years later I finally get the details. Wicked track.

[bingbong35]

One of the most underrated freestyle songs and MARIBEL ever! "DON'T MAKE PROMISES" 1989-different "MARIBEL" vocalist sounds a little variation of LISA LISA. but the nonetheless I love both songs and own them with all the freestyle mainstream and or obscure ones too,
