[Verse 1]
Caught in a close confine
I think I trapped a nerve on my serve, honey
It's locking up my spine
And I'm reeling
I want you
Trying to tell you but I get tied in two
Mumble and stumble, I can't make it through
How can I prove? Now there's nothing left to lose
Alright

[Chorus]
Beggar belief, baby, I got soul
Shakin' like a leaf, and I let it show
I've lost hope on a steady hold
But I bought you a marigold

[Verse 2]
I know it's no bouquet
I swear there must be thousands of ways
I could make it a great display
I've been searchin'
But I get stuck, sinkin' in deeper
So I just curse my luck, weaker and weaker
'Til my mind gives up, I know it's not much
Nothing would be enough
Alright, now
[Chorus]
Beggar belief, baby, I got soul
Shakin' like a leaf, and I let it show
I've lost hope on a steady hold
But I bought you a marigold

[Bridge]
(I bought you a marigold)
(I bought you a marigold)
(Oh no, no)
I've been undercover
I've been staying away
But now I'm stuck inside a shudder
Needing something to say
I swear it on your mother
On the air that I breathe
The more I look at you
The deeper I freeze

[Chorus]
Beggar belief, baby, I got soul
Shakin' like a leaf, and I let it show
I've lost hope on a steady hold
But I bought you a marigold
Beggar belief, baby, I got soul
Shakin' like a leaf, and I let it show
I've lost hope on a steady hold
But I bought you a marigold
