Eighteen Yellow Roses

Heard this mushy song by Bobby Darin. All through, it feels as if it's about a girl cheating on her guy, who is okay with her leaving with someone else. The last line brings in the real meaning, and you go 'Oh shucks, what was I thinking?'. Wonder if Bobby did this little lyric trick on purpose. Most of his other songs are sure about romantic love...

Eighteen yellow roses came today
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
When the boy came to the door, I didn't know what to say
But, Eighteen yellow roses came today
I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes when I had read
Though you belong to another, I love you anyway
Yes, Eighteen yellow roses came today
I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
I guess there's nothing left for me to do.
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
Cause Eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
But a father's love will never fade away.
