Gardenia

I always liked the drama

I always liked the joke

I always liked the love

And I always liked the smoke

I've never been a poster-child of my days

But I've sent a lot of post cards

And yours is on its way

I traded in my Pong hops for a bar right through my ear

It kind of hurts to sleep on, but pain's not what I fear

I shiver at the prospect of being just one thing

I missed a lot of targets but never lost my aim

I've done a lot of research

I've read a lot of books

I've turned a lot of pages

I've seen some dirty looks

But I can brave the weather

For a chilly glance from you

'Cause somewhere in the distance

The sun is peeking through

I've always been a flower

I've always been a tree

A cabin in the forest

A blanket on the beach

Never in my whole life

Would I choose just one

I've always loved the moonlight

I've always felt the sun

Somewhere in the middle

Of a sunset and a dream

Is the prettiest gardenia

The prettiest gardenia

The prettiest gardenia

That you've ever seen
