If he could only read her mind she'd say

Buy me a rose, call me from work

Open a door for me what would it hurt

Show me you love me by that look in your eyes

She can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
Bm               A           D        G
Lately she'd try anything to turn his head

To show her the love that he holds inside

To open the door to a heart that I hurt
               D                       G
And I hope you noticed this look in my eyes
D                            A                          D
Cause I'm gonna’ make things right for the rest of your life
