I Can't Do That Anymore

I keep right on pretendin', but I can't do that anymore
Somewhere down deep, I know you really love me

Quit my job to make our new home far away
But last night I dreamed about a washing machine
I keep on givin', but I can't stop livin'
Now you say I'm bein' silly
I keep right on pretendin', but I can't do that anymore
I like happy endings, I don't like dependin'

A woman needs a little something of her own
But you don't know me really
You know I used to think that you were king
A woman needs a little something of her own
I keep on givin', but I can't stop livin'
I like happy endings, I don't like dependin'

I decorate your palace
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
Oh, I keep on givin', but I can't stop livin'
Now you're Mr.Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill

But life's too short for a selfish attitude
I keep the checkbook balanced

You try to tell me
I'm not bein' fair to you
I like happy endings, I don't like dependin'
I used to dream about what I would be
A woman needs a little something of her own
But you can't see that what we have's not all I needed
Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay
I keep right on pretendin', but I can't do that anymore
