Lyrics:

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 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 reaching for the stars
Though somethimes I have stumbled
I've been known to fall
It was always true love that took me to the wall

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

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

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
