Buy Me A Rose

He works hard to give her
all he thinks she wants
But it tears her apart
 ‘cause nothing’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

Now the days
have grown to years
 of feelin’ all alone
As she sits and wonders
if all she’s doin’ is wrong
‘Cause lately she’d try anything
 just to turn his head
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

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
on the way home from work
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
And I’m gonna hold you
tonight, tonight
Do all those little things
 for the rest of your life
