[Verso 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
[Coro]
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
[Verso 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
That took me to the wall
[Coro]
[Conclusi�n]
Girl you better hide your love away
Girl you better save it for another day
