Bed of Roses
There's something 'bout your manner that makes it hard to see
Just how you take advantage of a workin' girl like me
Well 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
Well 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
Well 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)
Hide your love away
(Girl you better save it for another day)
Another day
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
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want to be your rollin' stone
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
Just how you take advantage of a workin' girl like me
Well 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
Well 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
Well 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)
Hide your love away
(Girl you better save it for another day)
Another day
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
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want to be your rollin' stone
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
