How many nights did you wait all alone
Wondering to yourself if
I was ever coming home
And how many time did
I break your heart into (honey into)
When you needed roses
I should have been the one to bring you a sweet bouquet, some tenderness and a lovin' touch
When you needed roses
I should have been the one (been the one) aww
You gave so much and honey i only took
When it came to making love you could have wrote the book
Blinded by my selfish ways girl i could not see that i was losing you (that i was losing you)

When you needed roses
I should have been the one to bring you a sweet bouquet, some tenderness and a lovin touch
When you needed roses
A gentle kiss a little romance i should have been the one
When you needed roses
I should have been the one i couldn't have been more bold thinking i was so close to you how could you stand it
Now that your not with me
Why is it plain to see thing i should have said before (just before)
When you needed roses i should have been the one to bring you a sweet bouquet, some tenderness and a lovin touch
When you needed roses a gentle kiss a little romance i should have been the one
When you needed roses i should have been the one
When you needed roooses a sweet bouquet, some tenderness and a lovin touch (oh baby)
I should have been the one

When you need roses i should have been the one with a sweet bouquet, a lovin touch, wooo a gentle kiss that means so much
When you needed roses i should have been the one to be there i should have been the one
