Buy Me a Rose
Nurturing Love: A Rose and Little Things
Lyrics
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
He puts in a lot of effort to provide what he believes she desires.
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He has provided material comforts like a three-car garage and credit cards for her.
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
He arrives home late but tries to express affection with a goodnight kiss.
If he could only read her mind, she'd say:
She wishes he could understand her thoughts without her explicitly saying them.
Buy me a rose, call me from work
She desires romantic gestures like buying her roses and calls from work.
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Simple acts like opening a door would mean a lot to her.
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
She wants him to show love through his gaze and expressions.
These are the little things I need the most in my life
These small actions are essential elements she craves for in her life.
Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
Over time, the initial closeness has turned into a sense of isolation.
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
She questions herself, wondering what she might be doing wrong.
Cause lately she'd try anything to turn his head
She's willing to try anything to regain his attention and affection.
Would it make a difference if she said:
She wonders if expressing her desire for romantic gestures would make a difference.
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Reiteration of her request for roses and calls from work.
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Emphasizes the importance of small gestures like opening doors.
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
Reiterates the desire for love to be expressed through meaningful looks.
These are the little things I need the most in my life
Restates the significance of these small things in her life.
And the more that he lives the less that he tries
As time passes, he seems to put in less effort to show love.
To show her the love that he hold inside
He struggles to express the love he holds within himself.
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
As she gives more, he begins to realize the depth of her love.
This is a story of you and me
It's a story that reflects the dynamics of their relationship.
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
He attempts to make amends by buying her a rose on his way home from work.
Opened the door to a heart that I hurt
He acknowledges the pain he caused by opening the door to a hurt heart.
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
Expresses hope that she notices the sincerity in his eyes.
Cause I'm gonna make things right
He is determined to make things right in their relationship.
I'm gonna hold you tonight
He pledges to hold her close and provide comfort.
Do all those little things
Commits to doing all those small, meaningful things for the rest of their lives.
For the rest of your life.
Further emphasizes the commitment to sustaining these gestures indefinitely.
