Well I said, he had a lot of potential   He was only misunderstood   You know, he didn?t really mean to treat me so bad   He wanted to be good      And I swore one day I would tame him   Even though he loved to run hog wild   Just call me Cleopatra everybody   ?Cause I?m the queen of denial      I knew he didn?t have any money   Yeah that?s why he couldn?t buy me a ring   Oh and just because he bought himself a brand new pick-up truck   Really didn?t prove anything      And he never had to say he loved me   I could see it every time he smiled   Just call me Cleopatra everybody   ?Cause I?m the queen of denial      Oh queen of denial   Buyin? all his alibis   Queen of denial   Floatin? down a river of lies, yeah      Well I?m not gonna jump to conclusions   Or throw away this perfect romance   Even though I saw him dancin? last night   With a girl in a leopard skin pants      Yeah, he?s probably stuck in traffic   And he?ll be here in a little while   Just call me Cleopatra everybody   ?Cause I?m the queen of denial      Oh queen of denial   Buyin? all his alibis   Queen of denial   Just floatin? down a river of lies, oh yeah
