Buy Me a Rose Lyrics


He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
But it tears her apart 'cause nothing's for her heart
Yeah, he pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight
If he could only read her mind, she'd sayBuy 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 lifeNow the days have grown to years of feelin' all alone
As she sits and wonders if all she's doin' is wrong
Yeah, 'cause lately she'd try anything just to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said, if she saidBuy 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 little things, I need the most in my life, my lifeAnd 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 meSo 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, rest of your life
And I'm gonna hold you tonight, tonight
Do all those little things for the rest of your life, of your life

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Luther Ronzoni Vandross (April 20, 1951 - July 1, 2005) was an american soul and rnb singer whose career spanned four decades.

In the 70s, he worked as a backing singer Chic and for David Bowie (on the Young Americans album). He later found success as a solo artist with Superstar and A House Is Not A Home.

In the 80s, Vandross was a vocalist on early Change singles (Searching), whilst continuing his solo career with such releases as "Never Too Much", "Power Of Love/Love Power", "If Only For One Night", "Here And Now".

In the 90s, he was more famous for duets with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey (amongst others), than for his solo work.

It was an ongoing battle with his weight that may have ultimately proved his undoing. He suffered a stroke in 2003, from which he never really recovered, and died in 2005.

During his career, he sold 25 million albums and won eight Grammy awards including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance four times. He won four Grammy awards in 2004, including the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for the track "Dance With My Father," co-written with Richard Marx.
