One Hundred Roses

If I could buy one hundred roses
That’s what I’d do
I’d put 'em in a box, kiss it,
and then send them over to you
Send them right to you
If I could call you on the phone for two hours
That’s what I’d do
Your boss wouldn’t mind
and the telephone line would ring directly to you
Yeah, it’d ring only for you
If I could sing you the sweetest love song
That’s what I’d do
and the words would flow from my heart to your soul
and you’d know I was singing to you
Yeah, you’d know the song was for you
But I can’t take care of you
Like I want to
And I can’t look after you
Like I ought to do
It doesn’t mean that I care any less
It only means that I’m a mess myself
It only means that I’m a mess myself
and you deserve the very best
It doesn’t mean that I love you any less
It only means that I’m a mess
If I could buy one hundred roses, that’s what I’d do
for you
