Dandelion

When I was a little girl my mama said to me

What's your favorite flower, darling? I'll get you the seed

I said, "Dandelion! dandelion!"

That one's so pretty!

She said "Child, that one's not a flower, that one's just a weed"

Oh, what a shame

Now it don't look the same

Guess it don't look the same

Oh, what a shame

Call me what you want

(Dandelion, dandelion)

You can't stop me multiplyin'

Pull me from the dirt

(Dandelion, dandelion)

No, you don't want me in your garden

Dandelion, dandelion

I still loved those mellow yellow petals anyway

What's that thing they say about a rose by any other name?

Then my fragile flower turned into a ball of grey

So I took a breath and made a wish and blew them all away

Oh, what a shame

Now it don't look the same

Guess it don't look the same

Oh, what a shame

Call me what you want

(Dandelion, dandelion)

You can't stop me multiplyin'

Pull me from the dirt

(Dandelion, dandelion)

No, you don't want me in your garden

Dandelion, dandelion

Call me what you want

(Dandelion, dandelion)

You can't stop me multiplyin'

Pull me from the dirt

(Dandelion, dandelion)

No, you don't want me in your garden

Dandelion, dandelion

So I took a breath, and made a wish and blew them all away
