| There’s something 'bout your manner
|
| That makes it hard to see
|
| Just how you take advantage
|
| Of a workin’girl like me
|
| I’ve seen you set 'em up And I’ve seen you take 'em down
|
| Our love is legal tender
|
| For your kind to pass around
|
| Don’t want your bed of roses
|
| Don’t want no handful of thorns
|
| Don’t want to be your livin’doll
|
| Don’t want to be no woman scorned
|
| I don’t want to watch you turn the page
|
| When our chapter closes
|
| No, I’m not gonna lay me down
|
| In your bed of roses
|
| I’ve tasted good and bad love
|
| In the honky-tonks and bars
|
| I’ve settled for the moon
|
| When I was reachin’for the stars
|
| And though sometimes I have stumbled
|
| I’ve been known to fall
|
| It was always true love
|
| That took me to the wall
|
| Don’t want your bed of roses
|
| Don’t want no handful of thorns
|
| Don’t want to be your livin’doll
|
| Don’t want to be no woman scorned
|
| I don’t want to watch you turn the page
|
| When our chapter closes
|
| No I’m not gonna lay me down
|
| In your bed of roses
|
| Girl you better hide your love away
|
| Girl you better save it for another day |
