Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now youre mr. successful and Im 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 cant stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I dont like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I cant do that anymore

Now you say Im being silly
But you dont 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 cant see that what we haves not all I needed

I keep on giving
But I cant stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I dont like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I cant do that anymore

You try to tell me Im not being fair to you
But lifes too short for a selfish attitude

I keep on giving
But I cant stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I dont like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I cant do that anymore
