My father was a wise man
He taught me wrong from right
And he taught me about women
Sitting by the firelight
Said one day you’re gonna need one
I am pretty sure you might
Listen closely what I tell you
Live these words each day and night

Bring her flowers every morning
Give her kisses every night
Tell her each day that you love her
Keep her close and hold her tight
Because a woman’s like a flower
Her love’s as precious as a rose
If you do the things I tell you
You will see the way love grows

I always listened to my Daddy
And one day I found my rose
And I did just what he told me
This is how the story goes
I told her that I loved her
And she said she loved me too
And we made a life together
I became a me and you

If one day you find a woman
She’s the one you call your rose
Hold her close and treat her kindly
And you’ll see the way love grows
Just remember what my Daddy said
Those words he shared with me
About how to love a woman
That’s the way it’s s’posed to be

If you want a rose to blossom you must do more than plant a seed
Because the love of a good woman is the only thing you need
If you follow my directions do exactly as I say
You’ll be happy ever after love will surely come your way

Bring her flowers every morning
Give her kisses every night
Tell her each day that you love her
Keep her close and hold her tight
Because a woman’s like a flower
Her love’s as precious as a rose
If you do the things I tell you
You will see the way love grows
