(Girl you better save it for another day)
Our love is legal tender
When our chapter closes
(Girl you better hide your love away)
Just how you take advantage
When our chapter closes
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want no handful of thorns
Of a workin' girl like me

I've been known to fall
That took me to the wall
Don't want your bed of roses

No I'm not gonna lay me down
Don't want no handful of thorns
Another day

Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns

And I've seen you take 'em down
Don't want to be your livin' doll
Don't want to be no woman scorned
And though sometimes I have stumbled
Well, I've seen you set 'em up
Well, I don't want to watch you turn the page

No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In the honky-tonks and bars
Hide your love away
In your bed of roses
When our chapter closes

It was always true love
When I was reachin' for the stars
For your kind to pass around
Don't want to be no woman scorned
Don't want to be your livin' doll

I've settled for the moon
Don't want to be your livin' doll

I've tasted good and bad love
Don't want your bed of roses
Well, I don't want to watch you turn the page
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't want to be no woman scorned
When our chapter closes
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
Well, I don't want to watch you turn the page
In your bed of roses
No I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
