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
    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
    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
  Girl you better save it for another day
