Buy Me a Rose

Ooh 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 Yeah Now the days have grown To years of feeling all alone As she sits and wonders if all she's doin' wrong 'Cause lately she'd try anything just to turn his head Ooh, would it make a difference if she'd say, if she'd say Buy me a rose Call me from work Open the 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 hoped you noticed this look in my eyes 'Cause I'm gonna make things right For the rest of your life (rest of your life) I'm gonna hold you tonight, tonight Do all those little things For the rest of your life For your life, ooh --- Buy Me a Rose - Luther Vandross
