[Verse 1]
There's something about your manner
That makes it hard to see
Just how you take advantage
Of a working girl like me
I've seen you set them up
And I've seen you take them down
Our love is legal tender
For your kind to pass around
[Chorus]
Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
[Verse 2]
I've tasted good and bad love In the honky-tonks and bars
I've settled for the moon when I was reaching for the stars
And though sometimes I have stumbled, I've been known to fall
It was always true love hat took me to the wall
[Chorus]
Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
[Outro]
Girl, you better hide your love away (Hide your love away)
Girl, you better save it for another day (Another day)
[Chorus]
Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
There's something about your manner
That makes it hard to see
Just how you take advantage
Of a working girl like me
I've seen you set them up
And I've seen you take them down
Our love is legal tender
For your kind to pass around
[Chorus]
Don't want your bed of roses
Don't want no handful of thorns
Don't wanna be your living doll
Don't wanna be no woman scorned
I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
[Verse 2]
I've tasted good and bad love In the honky-tonks and bars

Well, I don't wanna watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, I'm not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses
