Buy Me A Rose (Kenny Rogers) - STING 21605   (Maarten Weijers)

(Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

He works hard - to give her all he thinks she wants…
A three car garage - and her own credit card - ALLEMANDE and WEAVE
He pulls in late - to wake her up - with a kiss good night…
If he could only read her mind - she'd say…

 (Figures 1 & 4): HEADS SQUARE THRU - buy me a rose - call me from work

RIGHT AND LEFT THRU - and turn your Girl one time

SWING THRU and then - oh let the BOY RUN RIGHT

HALF TAG - SCOOTBACK and go - BOY RUN RIGHT

SQUARE THRU and go - and get me THREE QUARTER ‘round

SWING and then you all PROMENADE

And the more that she gives - the more that he sees
This is a story of you - - - and me

(Figures 2 & 3): HEADS you PROMENADE HALFWAY around now

Walk in and SQUARE THRU FOUR

Go all the way - you SWING THRU in time - BOY RUN RIGHT and FERRIS WHEEL

SQUARE THRU and go - and get me THREE QUARTER ‘round

SWING and then you all PROMENADE

If he could only read her mind, she'd say

 (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

"Buy me a rose - call me from work
Open a door for me - what would it hurt?
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things" - ALLEMANDE and WEAVE

And the more that he lives, - the less that he tries
To show her the love that he holds inside
And the more that she gives - the more that he sees
This is a story of you - - - and me

 (Closer & Tag): CIRCLE LEFT:

I bought you a rose - on the way home from work
To open the door to a heart that I hurt

The BOYS you STAR RIGHT and travel one time around

ALLEMANDE LEFT your Corner Girl and WEAVE THAT RING
And I'm gonna hold you tonight…
Do all those little things - for the rest of your life…

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
Three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
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 the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life"

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
'Cause lately she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if, she'd said

And the more that he lives, the less that he tries
To show her the love that he holds inside
And the more that she gives, the more that he sees
This is a story of you - - - and me

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
'Cause, I'm gonna make things right  - for the rest of your life
(rest of your life) and I'm gonna hold you tonight - - -
Do all those little things, for the rest of your life
