2003年，四届格莱美奖得主、R&B音乐教父级人物Luther Vandross（路瑟·范德鲁斯）在其专辑“Dance with my father ”中重新演绎了这首“Buy me a rose ”。Luther Vandross的翻唱版本注入了更多了流行元素，与Kenny Rogers温暖厚重的粗哑嗓音相比，Luther Vandross忧郁的金嗓在R&B华丽的节奏中得到了完美的释放。
Buy me a rose by Kenny Rogers
He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
If he could only read her mind, she'd say:
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life
Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
Cause lately she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said:
Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life
And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he holds inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is a story of you and me
So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
To open the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
Cause I'm gonna make things right
For the rest of your life.
I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life
