Lyrics
Champagne and Roses
Written by
Ken Love
I left work early today just to be with you at home.
I brought champagne and roses, just the two of us alone.
Got to the door, got a surprise, you weren?t there alone.
(Spoken)
Voices filled the bedroom, music on the stereo.
(Chorus)
You broke my heart and left it at the door.
Now champagne and roses won't be the same any more.
Champagne and roses will never be the same.
A constant reminder of the hurt you put on me.
You broke my heart and left it at the door.
Now champagne and roses won't be the same any more.
As I left I laid them down on the steps for you.
Maybe you can use them in your new rendezvous.
I'd like to see the surprise in your eyes when you open up the door.
But don't expect to find me hanging around here anymore.
(Chorus)
You broke my heart and left it at the door.
Now champagne and roses won't be the same any more.
Champagne and roses will never be the same.
A constant reminder of the hurt you put on me.
You broke my heart and left it at the door.
Now champagne and roses won't be the same any more.
