There's something 'bout your manner That makes it hard to see Just how you take advantage of a working 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 living 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 reaching for the stars I know that I have stumbled and I've been known to fall But it was always true love that took me to the wall Chorus Chorus
