Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I took him for granted
Now looking back at it
He's not the only one to blame
Between the jobs and the kids
Wasn't much time for him
We let the fire slip away from the flame
Guess I shouldn't be surprised
But as hard as I try
I can't believe it's happened to me
But I know where he's at
And I know it's a fact
I'd have to be blind not to see
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, he's out buying her roses
Where that leaves me, God only knows
I know, I should tell him
To leave me forever
What'll I do if he goes?
[Instrumental]
Should I put up a fight?
Does it matter who's right?
Should I ruin my life or my pride?
Can we save what we had?
And if he came back
Will I ever get it out of my mind?
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, he's out buying her roses
Where that leaves me, God only knows
I know, I should tell him
To leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes?
[Instrumental]
Oh-oh, he's out buying her roses
Where that leaves me, God only knows
I know, I should tell him
To leave me forever
But what'll I do if he goes?
Oh, what'll I do if he goes?
