Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now youīre Mr. Successful and Iīm 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 giving
But I canīt stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I donīt like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I canīt do that anymore
Now you say Iīm being silly
But you donīt know me really
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
I keep the check book 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 canīt see that what we haveīs not all I need
I keep giving
But I canīt stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I donīt like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I canīt do that anymore
You try to tell me Iīm not being fair to you
But lifeīs too short for a selfish attitude
I keep giving
But I canīt stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I donīt like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I canīt do that anymore
