Dozen Red Flags

He deletes all his texts, still talks to his ex

Flirts with my friends, his dad pays his rent

He don't like my dog, he cheers for the Vol's

Still watches film from high school football

But, man, he was cute and, damn, he was funny

And my brother thought he was the man

If violets are blue, then I'm such a dummy

To think he'd have roses in hand

I would've settled for tulips or daisies

I ain't picking petals 'cause all that he gave me

Was reasons for running

And a couple dozen red flags

So many, I could've made a bouquet

Tied up a ribbon out of caution tape

One for the tears, one for the lies

One for the thorn in my side

Man, he was cute, damn, he was funny

And my brother thought he was the man

If violets are blue, then I'm such a dummy

To think he'd have roses in hand

I would've settled for tulips or daisies

I ain't picking petals 'cause all that he gave me

Was reasons for running

And a couple dozen red flags

So he shows up and he's literally half drunk

And I look down, and all that he brought

Was a six-pack, and I can't believe that

I ever thought

That he was cute, that he was funny

And my brother thought he was the man

If violets are blue, then I'm such a dummy

To think he'd have roses in hand

I would've settled for tulips or daisies

I ain't picking petals 'cause all that he gave me

Was reasons for running

And a couple dozen red flags

All these reasons for running

And a couple dozen red flags
