When I was a little girl, my mama said to me
"What's your favorite flower darling?
I'll get you the seed. "
I said, "Dandelion, Dandelion"
That one's so pretty
She said, "Child, that one's not a flower
that one's just a weed. "

Oh, what a shame
Now it don't look the same
Guess it don't look the same
Oh, what a shame

Call me what you want
(Dandelion, dandelion)
You can't stop me multiplyin'
Pull me from the dirt
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
No, you don't want me in your garden
Dandelion, Dandelion

I still loved those mellow yellow petals anyway
What's that thing they say about a rose
by any other name?
Then my fragile flower turned into a ball of grey
So I took a breath and made a wish
and blew them all away

Oh, what a shame
Now it don't look the same
Guess it don't look the same
Oh, what a shame

Call me what you want
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
You can't stop me multiplyin'
Pull me from the dirt
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
No, you don't want me in your garden
Dandelion, Dandelion
Call me what you want
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
You can't stop me multiplyin'
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
Pull me from the dirt
(Dandelion, Dandelion)
No, you don't want me in your garden
Dandelion, Dandelion

So I took a breath and made a wish
and blew them all away
