[Verse 1] You came in hard Eyes on my shelf Looked at my window Then looked away I trimmed that stem I chose that pot You made one face And said a lot [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you saw Was it too much green? I set that table For a little peace [Chorus] u don't like my orchid (u don't like my orchid) Say it to my face u don't like my orchid (u don't like my orchid) But I like how it stays You call it extra I call it mine One small bloom In a rough old life [Verse 2] It leans for sun By the cracked white sink I spray it slow And watch it drink You like your rooms All plain and bare I like one wild thing Right over there [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you saw Was it too much green? I set that table For a little peace [Chorus] u don't like my orchid (u don't like my orchid) Say it to my face u don't like my orchid (u don't like my orchid) But I like how it stays You call it extra I call it mine One small bloom In a rough old life [Bridge] Maybe it’s the pot Maybe it’s the color Maybe you hate Anything that grows But I won't hide it Won't tuck it in This little bloom Knows where I live [Final Chorus] u don't like my orchid (u don't like my orchid) Say it to my face u don't like my orchid (u don't like my orchid) But I like how it stays You call it extra I call it mine One small bloom In a rough old life u don't like my orchid (u don't like my orchid) Still it’s here to stay
