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
