Cut my hair the way you want it.
Watched you become important,
Quit my job to make our new home far away,
Now you're Mister Successful
And I'm queen of the treadmill tryin to stay the size
You think that I should stay,
I used to dream about what I would be,
Last night I dreamed about the washin' machine.
I keep on givin, but I can't stop livin'
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 deep down I know you really love me,
But you can't see that what we have was not all I needed,
I keep on givin, but I can't stop livin'
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 givin, but I can't stop livin'
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
I can't do that anymorrre.
