Alan Menken Grow for Me song lyrics

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 given me zip

Oh God, how I missed 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?

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 appease

Now please, oh, oh, oh, please

Grow for me
