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 multiplying Pull me from the dirt (Dandelion, Dandelion) No you don't want me in your garden Dandelion, Dandelion Ooh-ooh-ooh Dandelion, Dandelion Dandelion, Dandelion I still love 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 multiplying 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 multiplying (Dandelion, Dandelion) Pull me from the dirt (Dandelion, Dandelion) No, you don't want me in your garden Dandelion, Dandelion (Dandelion, Dandelion) So I took a breath and made a wish and blew them all away
