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
