Buy Me a Rose

Oh

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants

But it tears her apart 'cause nothin's for her heart

He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight

If he could only read her mind, she'd say

Buy me a rose, call me from work

Open a door for me, what would it hurt?

Show me you love me by the look in your eyes

These are the little things I need the most in my life

Yeah

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone

As she sits and wonders if all she's doin' wrong

Yeah, 'cause lately she'd try anything just to turn his head

Ooh, would it make a difference? If she said, if she said

Buy me a rose, call me from work

Open a door for me, what would it hurt?

Show me you love me by the look in your eyes

These are the little things I need the most in my life, my life

Ooh

And the more that he lives, the less that he tries

To show her the love that he holds inside

And the more that she gives, the more that he sees

This is the story of you and me

So, I bought you a rose (My love) on the way home from work (My love)

To open the door to a heart that I hurt

And I hope you notice this look in my eyes

'Cause I'm gonna make things right for the rest of your life

(Rest of your life) Oh oh

I'm gonna hold you tonight, tonight

Do all those little things for the rest of your life

Of your life

Ooh ooh
