Story Behind The Song

Some men have a problem with commitment. This woman's problem is that her man is too committed, but not to her!

Song Description

country ballad

Lyrics

the blue rose
(far too faithful)

1
she says "I know we've had our moments
you've had your space
but I can see us getting older"
and she holds her
hand against his face

2
she says she wants a man who's faithful
who's got the courage to commit
she takes the lead / they talk about it
they dance around it
but he can't take that step

ch
some men are far too faithful
for better or for worse
but she wants a heart that's faithful
to the last not to the first

2
she stumbles on his old love letters
the paper bag just pulls apart
she finds the petals of a blue rose
like the tattoo
just above his heart

ch
some men are far too faithful
to a kiss or to a curse
but she wants a heart that's faithful
to the last not to the first

br
so she decides to let it slide
and give him space until it's time

ch
some men are far too faithful
for better or for worse
she wants a heart that's faithful
to the last not to the first
