Hear the way you want it
Watched you become important
With my job and make our new home far away
Now you're mister 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 the washing machine
I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy ending
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'd keep the checkbook balance
I'd decorate your palace
You know I used to think that you were king
Somewhere down deep
I know you really loved 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 tried to tell me I'm not being fair to you
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 defending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore
No
I can't do that anymore
