He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants    A three-car garage her own credit card        He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss goodnight                                                                 d If he could only read her mind she’d say 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     And she can’t help but wonder what she’s doing wrong     ’cause lately she tried anything to turn his head                    Would it make a difference if she said     Refrain   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   Do all those little things for the rest of your life
