  • 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 Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Susan from Atlanta, GeorgiaI love this song with a passion.
    When Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb won a grammy for "Guilty", Barbra asked Barry if he felt guilty; his reply was, "I don't know -- I feel like I'm cheating on Neil Diamond."
