He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants 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 the door for me what would it hurt Show me you love me by the look in your eyes These are the litte 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 tried anything to turn his head Would it make a difference 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 litte 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 I need you So I bought you a rose On the way home from work and I opened the door to a heart that I hurt And I hopeed you noticed by the look in my eyes that I'm gonna make things right For the rest of my life And I'm gonna hold you tonight Cause you are the little thing that I need the most in my life.
