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've been the one to bring you
A sweet bouquet
Some tenderness
And a lovin' touch
When you needed roses
I should've been the one
(Been the one) aww
You gave so much
Honey and 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've 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've been the one
When you needed roses
I should've 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've said before (just before)
When you needed roses
I should've 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've been the one

When you need roses
I should've been the one
With a sweet bouquet
A lovin touch
Wooo a gentle kiss that means so much
When you needed roses
I should've been the one to be there
I should have been the one
