I'll spend ten dollars on a sidewalk rose Help pick out the color that she paints her toes Tell her how good she looks when she buys new clothes 'Cause it matters to her I don't get too crazy when we go out Don't wear these old boots inside her house And when her mama's around I watch my mouth 'Cause it matters to her I keep on sayin' she's pretty when I've told her that a million times No matter who's there with me I'll hold her hand in mine When she gets a little sad, Or gets a little mad I listen to every word 'Cause it matters to her I like a quiet night when I get the chance And to tell the truth I don't love to dance But if she wants to go out I'll change my plans 'Cause it matters to her I keep on sayin' she's pretty when I've told her that a million times No matter who's there with me I'll hold her hand in mine When she gets a little sad, Or gets a little mad I listen to every word 'Cause it matters to her I keep on sayin' she's pretty when I've told her that a million times No matter who's there with me I'll hold her hand in mine When she gets a little sad, Or gets a little mad I listen to every word 'Cause it matters to her I know it matters to her
