Lyrics
Buy me a rose1 by Kenny Rogers
He works2 hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage3, her own4 credit5 cards
He pulls6 in late to wake7 her up with a kiss8 good night
If he could9 only read her mind10, she'd say:
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would11 it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life12
Now the days have grown to years of feeling13 all alone
And she can't help but wonder14 what she's doing wrong
Cause lately15 she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference16 if she said17:
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 less18 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 a story of you and me
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
To open the door to a heart19 that I hurt
And I hope20 you notice21 this look in my eyes
Cause I'm gonna make things right
For the rest of your life.
I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life
