When You Need Roses

How many nights did you wait all alone
Wondering to yourself if I was ever coming home
And how many times did I break your heart
In two, honey, in two

When you needed roses
I should have been the one
To bring you a sweet bouquet
Some tenderness and a loving touch

When you needed roses
I should have been the one
Been the on, oh...

You gave so much, honey, and I only took
When it came to making love, you could have wrote the book
If lying could hide my selfish ways, girl, I did 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 loving 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 wrong
Thinking I was so close to you
How could you stand it
Now that you're not with me
Why is it plain to see
Things I should have said before
Done before

When you needed roses
I should have been the one
To bring you a sweet bouquet
Some tenderness and a loving 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 roses
A sweet bouquet
Some tenderness (Oh, baby)
And a loving touch (I should have been the one)

When you needed roses
I should have been the one
With a sweet bouquet
A loving touch, ooh, one 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
