I Don't Expect a Rose Songtext
von Bonnie Pointer

When you shower me with flowers
It don′t fix the loneliness
They only last a few hours
Then it's you that I miss

It′s not the necklace you gave me
Not this ring that shines so bright
Your letters, I keep reading them babe
Ain't gonna keep me warm tonight

It's the feeling when we kiss
There′s nothing you could give me like this

I don′t expect a rose
You're all that I need
Everything I′ve ever wanted is right here
When you're lying next to me

You work so hard to give me a better life
I appreciate it all
When you′re on the road
I know it's me that′s on your mind
'Cause it's you each time the telephone calls


But you don′t have to say a thing
I just keep waiting for that doorbell to ring

I don′t expect a rose
You're all that I need
Everything I′ve ever wanted is right here
When you're lying next to me

Ooh
The feeling when we kiss
I love it when you do it like this

I don′t expect a rose
You're all that I need
Everything I′ve ever wanted is right here
When you're lying next to me

I don't expect a rose
It won′t change how feel
There′s nothing you gotta bring to me baby
I know your love is real

I don't expect a rose
You′re all that I need
Everything I've ever wanted is right here
When you′re lying next to me


I don't expect a rose
You′re all that I need
