Bed Of Roses

There's something 'bout you 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 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 (Repeat chorus) Bridge: Girl, you better hide your love away Girl, you better save it for another day (Repeat chorus)
