Red and white, check out line
That they'd have to do this to me
I almost made it out with just a bottle of wine
Single here, dozen there
Doesn't make a difference
'Cause every petal on the floor reminds me why
I don't go out with hopes up of meeting someone
I don't mix drinks with wishing I'll find what I won't
And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
Know I could, know I should add a little color
Try to make this empty house feel like home (like home)
But what's it worth?
Nobody sees and nobody's coming over
Just like me, they'll sit in this living room alone (alone)
I'm better off broken
Keeps me out of danger
I don't call up old numbers again to give mind to strangers
And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
Oh, tonight
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
And I don't buy roses
I don't have the strength to watch another good thing die
I'm lonely, I know it
And on any other day, a little lonely would be fine
But I wish I had somebody to bring roses to tonight
