You may wonder if I care
 Or if I'll leave you sad and lonely
 Or if I'll always be right there
 Well there's no need for doubt now darlin'
 'Cause I have come to know
 This love of ours is no common flower
 You know this love is like a red, red rose

 And you may wonder about this dreamer
 If she's all you thought she'd be
 And, oh, if anything but someday
 Ever comes from lovin' me
 But hold me close and tell me darlin'
 That you have come to know
 This love I bring you is no common thing
 You know this love is like a red, red rose

 When you're all caught up in sweet surrender
 Simple truth is sometimes hard to see
 Here between the tough times and the tender
 It all comes down to you and me

 And you may see my heart of darkness
 I may stumble now and again
 But underneath this heart of darkness
 There's a heart that's lovin' you right till the end
 So hold me close, come hold me darlin'
 'Cause I want you to know
 This love of ours is no common flower
 You know this love is like a red, red rose

 This love of ours is no common flower
 You know this love is like a red, red rose
