You don't bring me flowers You don't sing me love songs You hardly talk to me anymore When I come through the door at the end of the day I remember when You couldn't wait to love me Used to hate to leave me Now after lovin' me late at night When it's good for you, babe And you're feeling alright Well, you just roll over And you turn out the light And you don't bring me flowers anymore It used to be so natural (Used to be) To talk about forever But used-to-be's don't count anymore They just lay on the floor 'til we sweep them away And baby, I remember All the things you taught me I learned how to laugh And I learned how to cry Well I learned how to love And I learned how to lie So you'd think I could learn How to tell you goodbye You don't bring me flowers anymore Well, you'd think I could learn How to tell you goodbye You don't sing to me And you don't sing me love songs You don't bring me flowers anymore
