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

{Chorus:}
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 your 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

{repeat Chorus}

Girl, you better hide your love away
Girl, you better save it for another day
