Luther Vandross - Buy Me A Rose Lyrics
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wantsBut it tears her apart ‘cause nothing’s for her heartHe pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnightIf he could only read her mind, she’d say…[CHORUS]Buy me a rose, call me from workOpen a door for me, what would it hurtShow me you love me by the look in your eyesThese are the little things I need the most in my lifeNow the days have grown to years of feelin’ all aloneAs she sits and wonders if all she’s doin’ is wrong‘Cause lately she’d try anything just to turn his headWould it make a difference if she said, if she said…[CHORUS][BRIDGE]And the more that he lives the less that he triesTo show her the love that he holds insideAnd the more that she gives the more that he seesThis is the story of you…and meSo I bought you a rose on the way home from workTo open the door to a heart that I hurtAnd I hope you notice this look in my eyes‘Cause I’m gonna make things right for the rest of your lifeAnd I’m gonna hold you tonight, tonightDo all those little things for the rest of your life
