John Barrowman, I Won't Send Roses

[@benjohns7466]

I won't send roses
Or hold the door
I won't remember
Which dress you wore
My heart is too much in control
The lack of romance in my soul
Will turn you grey, kid
So stay away, kid
Forget my shoulder
When you're in need
Forgetting birthdays
Is guaranteed
And should I love you, you would be
The last to know
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so
My pace is frantic
My temper's cross
With words romantic
I'm at a loss
I'd be the first one to agree
That I'm preoccupied with me
And it's inbred, kid
So keep your head, kid
In me you'll find things
Like guts and nerve
But not the kind of things
That you deserve
And so while there's a fighting chance
Just turn and go
I won't send roses
And roses suit you so

[@andrewroberts4736]

I am not a fan of John Barrowman but this song is one of my absolute favourites and I have not heard anyone sing it as well as this. Beautiful performance.

[@mollym4384]

Where did you get this music? I've looked for it everywhere but can't find it. Only place I can find it is here

[@kimberlyhartman7452]

I ought this and other John Barrowman albums on Amazon!

[@kerkhamo]

john barrowman has a great voice but this song requires a voice richer and deeper but I,d love to hear john barrowman tackling Jekyll and hyde hes the perfect register for those songs .Maybe he has already .he does have a great voice though

[@Emrys91]

That last note💚

[@doctorwhofan2495]

oh wow this was the first time i actually listened to this song and i like it.

[@SopranoOfTheNight]

You know, I think I like the live version better.

[@julieswiss1]

Exactly. 🌹

[@spookyoliver2278]

where is this song from i think it's from a play or something?????

[@KAF128]

Mack and Mabel, I think.

[@davidpenn8930]

It's a Jerry Herman musical - about the early days of Hollywood. 'Mack' is the director/producer Mack Sennett, "Mabel" the waitress turned screen godess Mabel Normand.

[@markwarrington7705]

[@r4b32t11]

He blew me away when he sang “Night and Day” with Kevin Kline in “De Lovely”... ~

[@juliegenecarter]

@FuckTheReason Scotty meant that John is not romantic :D Maybe Scott is the romanticist in the family :)))
