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
