Lyrics:

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants But it tears her apart 'cause nothing's for her heart He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight 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 feelin' all alone As she sits and wonders if all she's doin' is wrong 'Cause lately she'd try anything just to turn his head Would it make a difference if she said, if she said: [Chorus] 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 And I'm gonna hold you tonight, tonight Do all those little things for the rest of your life
