Songs: One red rose

by Cara Smithers

Created on: February 15, 2009

So, you think that you know me, well think again

Your smile is too perfect and so is your skin

Do you think I am impressed with your fancy car?

Don't ya see, I'm not the type of girl you pick up in a bar




Well you say you came back to town to pick up your hometown girl

But to me, you're not the same boy that I knew

You show up at my door with enough flowers, I suppose

God only knows, you could have had me with one red rose




One red rose on my windshield after the Friday night football game (chorus)

One red rose on my window sill in the pouring rain (chorus)

One red rose to mop up my tears after a stupid fight (chorus)

One red rose to tell me you love me tonight (chorus)




What happened to the that boy in the ripped up jeans

What's up with the Burberry scarf and the BKEs

You've lost that edge, You've lost your modesty

What type of girl do you think I am honestly?




All I ever needed was

One red rose on my windshield after the Friday night football game (chorus)

One red rose on my window sill in the pouring rain (chorus)

One red rose to mop up my tears after a stupid fight (chorus)

One red rose to tell me you love me tonight (chorus)




Maybe you'll figure it out when I don't meet you out tonight

I'm not going to try to teach how to be my Mr. Right

People change I suppose, and maybe it's for the best

If you can't figure out what you did wrong, then I'm not going to explain the rest




All I ever needed was

One red rose on my windshield after the Friday night football game (chorus)

One red rose on my window sill in the pouring rain (chorus)

One red rose to mop up my tears after a stupid fight (chorus)

One red rose to tell me you love me tonight (chorus)
