Cut my hair the way you wanted Watched you become important Quit my job to make our new home far away Now you're Mr. Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay I used to dream about what I would be Last night I dreamed about a washing machine
I keep on giving But I can't stop living A woman needs a little something of her own I like happy endings I don't like depedning 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 down deep I know you really love me But you can't see that what we have's not all I needed
I keep on giving But I can't stop living 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 giving But I can't stop living 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
