I Can`t Do That Anymore Lyrics

I Can`t Do That Anymore

Cut my hair the way you wanted

 Watched you become important

 Quit my job to make our new home far away

 Now you're Mr. Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill

 Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay

 I used to dream about what I would be

 Last night I dreamed about a washing machine

 

 I keep on giving

 But I can't stop living

 A woman needs a little something of her own

 I like happy endings

 I don't like depending

 I keep right on pretending

 But I can't do that anymore

 

 Now you say I'm being silly

 But you don't know me really

 You never take the time to ask me how I feel

 I keep the checkbook balanced

 I decorate your palace

 You know I used to think that you were king

 Somewhere down deep I know you really love me

 But you can't see that what we have's not all I needed

 

 I keep on giving

 But I can't stop living

 A woman needs a little something of her own

 I like happy endings

 I don't like depending

 I keep right on pretending

 But I can't do that anymore

 

 You try to tell me I'm not being fair to you

 But life's too short for a selfish attitude

 

 I keep on giving

 But I can't stop living

 A woman needs a little something of her own

 I like happy endings

 I don't like depending

 I keep right on pretending

 But I can't do that anymore
