All She Wanted Was Roses Lyrics

All she wanted was roses

I couldn't even get her that

I left her standing broken-hearted

Crying on her doormat

But I couldn't leave her standing right there

Sobbing her tears

Crying, wishing, wanting me back

All she wanted was roses

I couldn't even get her that

Oh I knew that daisies wouldn't do

Marigold's would make her feel blue

I just could not bring myself

To see this one through

I knew it all along

I strung her along

And now she's too far gone and

All she wanted was roses

I couldn't even get her that

I left her standing broken-hearted

Crying on her doormat

But I couldn't leave her standing right there

Sobbing her tears

Crying, wishing, wanting me back

All she wanted was roses

I couldn't even give her that

Thought I could give the world to her

A private chef and a chauffeur

Since I keep living these songs that I sing

Damn sure not a damned ol' diamond ring

Didn't take me much time

Didn't even drop a dime

And loving me is an uphill climb and

All she wanted was roses

I couldn't even get her that

I left her standing broken-hearted

Crying on her doormat

But I couldn't leave her standing right there

Sobbing her tears

Crying, wishing, wanting me back

All she wanted was roses

I couldn't even get her that

She ain't never coming back

She wanted roses

Couldn't even get her that
