(will rambeaux, jaime kyle)

Theres something bout your manner
That makes it hard to see
Just how you take advantage
Of a workin girl like me
Ive seen you set em up
And Ive seen you take em down
Our love is legal tender
For your kind to pass around

Dont want your bed of roses
Dont want no handful of thorns
Dont want to be your livin doll
Dont want to be no woman scorned
I dont want to watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No, Im not gonna lay me down
In your bed of roses

Ive tasted good and bad love
In the honky-tonks and bars
Ive settled for the moon
When I was reachin for the stars
And though sometimes I have stumbled
Ive been known to fall
It was always true love
That took me to the wall

Dont want your bed of roses
Dont want no handful of thorns
Dont want to be your livin doll
Dont want to be no woman scorned
I dont want to watch you turn the page
When our chapter closes
No Im 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
