[Verse 1]
I used to love it when roses would come
The card always read, "You're my number 1"
But love never goes the way one supposes
And I will forever hate roses
You sent me roses, I thought it was nice
Opened the card and it read, "goodbye"
You're moving on as this chapter closes
And I will forever hate roses

[Verse 2]
I'll never see a rose from now on
That will not remind me that you're really gone
Don't trust the rose for the danger it poses
I will forever hate roses

[Verse 3]
The fragrance of roses will last throughout time
Their beauty will linger, but not in my mind
No, I'll love the daisies, the tulips, the posies
But I will forever hate roses

[Verse 4]
And I'll never see a rose from now on
That will not remind me that you're really gone
Oh, and don't trust the rose for the pain it imposes
I will forever hate roses
Now you're moving on as this chapter closes
And I will forever hate roses
Yes, I will forever hate roses

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
