Bed Of Roses Lyrics

Bed Of Roses

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
