Kenny Rogers, Alison Krauss, Billy Dean - Buy Me a Rose lyrics

He works hard to give her
All he thinks she wants
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her
Up with a kiss good night
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 feeling all alone
And she can't help but wonder
What she's doing wrong
Cause lately she'd try anything
To turn his head
Would it make a difference 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 a 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
I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life
