Fertilizer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a garden where it never rains
I feed the flowers tears, they don't complain
Can I get you to cry, baby (baby)
If I tell you a lie, baby? (baby)
I just need a reaction
To keep it alive baby (baby)
'Cause I've got a garden in my heart
And I can't survive without some (kind of)
[Chorus]
Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine, all the growing stops
Whatever I just need it from you
I just need it from you
[Verse 2]
Well I heard that the flowers love to hear you sing, baby girl
Put your ear to my heart, bet you won't hear anything
Can I get you to sing baby? (baby)
Give me something in E major? (major)
Pretty darling, your silence is driving me crazy
Girl I got a garden in the dark, and I can't survive
Without some kind of
[Chorus]
Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine, all the growing stops
Whatever I just need it from you
I just need it from you
I got a garden where it never rains
I feed the flowers tears, they don't complain
Can I get you to cry, baby (baby)
If I tell you a lie, baby? (baby)
I just need a reaction
To keep it alive baby (baby)
'Cause I've got a garden in my heart
And I can't survive without some (kind of)
[Chorus]
Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine, all the growing stops
Whatever I just need it from you
I just need it from you
[Verse 2]
Well I heard that the flowers love to hear you sing, baby girl
Put your ear to my heart, bet you won't hear anything
Can I get you to sing baby? (baby)
Give me something in E major? (major)
Pretty darling, your silence is driving me crazy
Girl I got a garden in the dark, and I can't survive
Without some kind of
[Chorus]
Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine, all the growing stops
Whatever I just need it from you
I just need it from you
[Bridge]
Behold, light from my star
I dug a hole, planted my heart
It's been told, that hearts can grow
I just need
[Chorus]
Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine, all the growing stops
Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine, all the growing stops
Whatever I just need it from you
I just need it from you
Behold, light from my star
I dug a hole, planted my heart
It's been told, that hearts can grow
I just need
[Chorus]
Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine, all the growing stops
Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine, all the growing stops
Whatever I just need it from you
I just need it from you
