Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now you`re Mr. 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 a washing machine

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

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 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 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 try to tell me I`m not being fair to you
But 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 depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can`t do that anymore
