I Got Flowers Today I got flowers today It wasn't my birthday or any other special day We had our first argument last night He said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me I know he is sorry though and didn't mean the things he said Because he sent me flowers today I got flowers today It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day Last night he threw me into a wall and started to choke me It seemed like a nightmare I couldn't believe it was real I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over Yet I know he must be sorry Because he sent me flowers today I got flowers today It wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day Last night he beat me up again It was much worse than all the other times If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of my kids? What about money? I'm afraid of him and scared to leave But I know he must be sorry Because he sent me flowers today I got flowers today Today was a very special day It was the day of my funeral Last night he finally killed me He beat me to death If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him I would not have gotten flowers...today PLEASE promise me you will NEVER let anyone hurt you Even if he says he loves you It's a total lie if he hurts you Do whatever it takes to get away STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TODAY!!! DO NOT TOLERATE IT!!!!
