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:

Chorus :
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:

[Chorus]

And the more that he lives the less that he 
tries
To show her the love that he hold 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
Opened 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
I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the 
rest of your life.
