[Verse 1] It's been a while since I've seen you I'm trying to not offend you I count the days as they go by Since I phoned you and said good bye You gave me roses just to show me How much you love and adore me You know you didn't have to do that Because with you, it's this and/or that I'm thinking of a way cause I know you never listen Why don't you ever listen? [Hook] Tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house Girl, you never listen Tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house You don't know what you're missin' And now your roses don't mean a thing You're tearing down the house [Verse 2] The good times are a reminder Of how much I really like her (tearin' down the house) I wish that I could see her right now But we're just tearin down the house now I'm thinking of a way cause I know you never listen Why don't you ever listen? [Hook] With a bit of common sense And more consideration You'd know exactly not what to do I'm thinking of a way cause I know you never listen Why don't you ever listen? Tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house Girl, you never listen Tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house You don't know what you're missin' Tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house Girl, you never listen Tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house, tearin' down the house Now your roses don't mean a thing You don't know what you're missin' [Small Break] And now your roses don't mean a thing
