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

Chorus :
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 check book balanced
I decorate oyur 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 need

Repeat Chorus

You try to tell me I´m not being fair to you
But life´s too short for a selfish attitude

Repeat Chorus
