Flirting in the Shadows Paroles

But not as sweet as you."

We dated through high school.
And when the big day came,
I wrote into your book,
next to my name:

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

Then I went far away and you found someone new.
I read your letter dear, and I wrote back to you:

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But luck may god bless you."

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."
