| Cut my hair the way you wanted
|
| Watched you become important
|
| Quit my job to make our new home far away
|
| Now you’re Mr. Successful and I’m queen of the treadmill
|
| Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay
|
| I used to dream about what I would be Last night I dreamed about a washing machine
|
| I keep on giving
|
| But I can’t stop living
|
| A woman needs a little something of her own
|
| I like happy endings
|
| I don’t like depending
|
| I keep right on pretending
|
| But I can’t do that anymore
|
| Now you say I’m being silly
|
| But you don’t know me really
|
| You never take the time to ask me how I feel
|
| I keep the checkbook balanced
|
| I decorate your palace
|
| You know I used to think that you were king
|
| Somewhere down deep I know you really love me But you can’t see that what we have’s not all I needed
|
| I keep on giving
|
| But I can’t stop living
|
| A woman needs a little something of her own
|
| I like happy endings
|
| I don’t like depending
|
| I keep right on pretending
|
| But I can’t do that anymore
|
| You try to tell me I’m not being fair to you
|
| But life’s too short for a selfish attitude
|
| I keep on giving
|
| But I can’t stop living
|
| A woman needs a little something of her own
|
| I like happy endings
|
| I don’t like depending
|
| I keep right on pretending
|
| But I can’t do that anymore |
