Bed of Roses

[Verse 1]

There's something about your manner

That makes it hard to see

Just how you take advantage

Of a working girl like me

I've seen you set them up

And I've seen you take them down

Our love is legal tender

For your kind to pass around

[Chorus]

Don't want your bed of roses

Don't want no handful of thorns

Don't wanna be your living doll

Don't wanna be no woman scorned

I don't wanna watch you turn the page

When our chapter closes

No, I'm not gonna lay me down

In your bed of roses

[Verse 2]

I've tasted good and bad love In the honky-tonks and bars

I've settled for the moon when I was reaching for the stars

And though sometimes I have stumbled, I've been known to fall

It was always true love hat took me to the wall

[Chorus]

Don't want your bed of roses

Don't want no handful of thorns

Don't wanna be your living doll

Don't wanna be no woman scorned

Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page

When our chapter closes

No, I'm not gonna lay me down

In your bed of roses

[Outro]

Girl, you better hide your love away (Hide your love away)

Girl, you better save it for another day (Another day)

[Chorus]

Don't want your bed of roses

Don't want no handful of thorns

Don't wanna be your living doll

Don't wanna be no woman scorned

Well, I don't wanna 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 wanna be your living doll

Don't wanna be no woman scorned

Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page

When our chapter closes

No, I'm not gonna lay me down

In your bed of roses
