He works hard to give her all he thinks she want
Three car garage
Her own credit cards
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 feeling all alone
She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
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 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
I'm gonna hold you tonight
And do all those little things for
The rest of your life
