Lyric 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
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
