Alan Menken — Grow For Me

[SEYMOUR] I've given you sunshine I've given you dirt You've given me nothing 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 potash 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 s'posed ta 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 please grow for me!
