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 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
Now the days
have grown
to years of feeling
all alone
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'd said
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
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 a door
to a heart that I hurt
And I hope that
you notice
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
Do all those little things
for the rest of your life
