Well, I don't want to watch you turn the page
In your bed of roses
When our chapter closes
(Girl you better save it for another day)
I've tasted good and bad love
Well, I don't want to watch you turn the page
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want to be no woman scorned
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Another day
Well, I don't want to watch you turn the page
In your bed of roses
No I'm not gonna lay me down
Don't want to be no woman scorned
Don't want your bed of roses
(Girl you better hide your love away)
And though sometimes I have stumbled
Don't want to be your livin' doll
In your bed of roses
No I'm not gonna lay me down
For your kind to pass around
Well, I don't want to watch you turn the page
When I was reachin' for the stars
Of a workin' girl like me
Don't want to be no woman scorned
In the honky-tonks and bars
Don't want no handful of thorns
When our chapter closes
I've settled for the moon
It was always true love
Don't want to be no woman scorned
Hide your love away
Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
When our chapter closes
Well, I've seen you set 'em up
Don't want no handful of thorns
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
No I'm not gonna lay me down
Our love is legal tender
Don't want no handful of thorns
When our chapter closes
Don't want your bed of roses
I've been known to fall
And I've seen you take 'em down
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Just how you take advantage
That took me to the wall
