Lilacs and tiger-lilies won’t be enough for me when you’re gone

Hollyhocks, gladiolas, will never replace this face

In your little pink house with the blue polka-dots

I learned what I was and what I was not,

Supposed to be

Supposed to be

Supposed to be

Supposed to be

Bleeding heart, lily-of-the-valley

Snapdragon, rambling rose

You’ll never make it in this world

If you’re not one of those

In your little pink house, with the blue polka-dots

I learned what I was and what I was not

Supposed to be

Supposed to be

Supposed to be

Supposed to be

Diadem, orange sensation

Diorama, bell canto,

Baby-Lune, and princess too,

But you were the one I chose

In your little pink house, with the blue polka-dots

I learned what I was and what I was not

Supposed to be

Supposed to be

Supposed to be

Supposed to be
