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
