Grow for Me—From The Little Shop of Horrors

Grow for Me Lyrics—From The Little Shop of Horrors
(Words and Music by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken)

I've given you sunshine.
I've given you dirt.
You've given me nothin'
But heartache and hurt!
I'm beggin' you sweetly.
I'm down on my knees.
Oh please,
Grow for me?

I've given you plant food
And water to sip.
I've given you pot-ash.
You've given me zip!
Oh God, how I mist you.
Oh Pod, how you tease.
Now please,
Grow for me?

I've given you Southern Exposure
To get you to thrive.
I've pinched you back hard, like I'm supposed to
You're barely alive.
I've tried you at levels of moisture
From desert to mud!
I've given you grow lights and mineral supplements.
What do you want from me? Blood?

"Ow! Darn Roses! Darn Thorns!"

I've given you sunlight.
I've given you rain.
Looks like you're not happy
'less I open a vein!
I'll give you a few drops,
If that'll apease.
Now Please...
Oh, Oh, Oh, Please...
Grow for Me...
