Rip Rip Rip (Them Flowers Apart)

 

Lyrics & Music by Barry Hope

 

Verse One:

 

I heard you bought

Me flowers today

Somehow you thought

They’d make everything OK

You told the florist

To give you the purist

Most radiant floral bouquet

 

But when you said what they were for

She just laughed and let you know

 

Chorus:

 

I’m gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart

Just like you rip ripped my heart

If you think flowers

Turn back the hours

Boy you’re not very smart

 

I’m gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart

Each precious petal will be smashed in half

And when the ripping’s done

Boy you better run

‘Cause them flowers are just the start

 

Verse Two:

 

Mother said you

Called at her home

She asked you to

Leave me alone

You said you’re sorry

And you’ve got something for me

The most beautiful flowers you’ve ever known

 

But before she slammed the door

She made sure to let you know

 

Chorus:

 

I’m gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart

Just like you rip ripped my heart

If you think flowers

Turn back the hours

Boy you’re not very smart

 

I’m gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart

Each precious petal will be smashed in half

And when the ripping’s done

Boy you better run

‘Cause them flowers are just the start

 

Bridge:

 

Now face to face we stand

Flowers there in your hand

Pass them over

So I can show ya

What a girl like me can do

To flowers from a boy like you

I can’t wait a

Moment longer

 

What am I gonna do?

 

Chorus:

 

I’m gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart

Just like you rip ripped my heart

If you think flowers

Turn back the hours

Boy you’re not very smart

 

I’m gonna rip rip rip them flowers apart

Each precious petal will be smashed in half

And when the ripping’s done

Boy you better run

‘Cause them flowers are just the start

 

I’m ripping I’m ripping I’m rip rip rip ripping

I’m ripping I’m ripping I’m rip rip rip ripping

I’m ripping I’m ripping I’m rip rip rip ripping

I’ve ripped them flowers apart
