Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68
She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade It took a whole lot of years and tears For her momma to finally admit No matter how many stitches and pins That old dress was never gonna fit She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet, pageant queen She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me, Waking up in someone else's dream" Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday He'll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away" It took twenty-five years and some broken vows Before they'd finally see There's a little more to love and life Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet, pageant queen She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me, Waking up in someone else's dream" Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake And she means to make her life her own Before there's twenty-eight She was daddy's little girl Momma's little angel Teacher's pet, pageant queen She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me, Waking up in someone else's dream |

Baby tell me where'd you ever learn To fight without sayin'a word Then waltz back into my life Like it's all gonna be alright Don't you know how much it hurts Chorus: When we don't talk When we don't touch When it doesn't feel like we're even in love It matters to me When I don't know what to say Don't know what to do Don't know if it really even matters to you How can I make you see It matters to me Maybe I still don't understand The distance between a woman and a man So tell me how far it is And how you can love like this 'Cause I'm not sure I can (Repeat chorus) |

There's something 'bout you manner That makes it hard to see Just how you take advantage Of a workin' girl like me I've seen you set 'em up And I've seen you take 'em down Our love is legal tender For your kind to pass around Chorus: Don't want your bed of roses Don't want no handful of thorns Don't want to be your livin' doll Don't want to be no woman scorned I don't want to watch you turn the page When our chapter closes No, I'm not gonna lay me down In your bed of roses I've tasted good and bad love In the honky-tonks and bars I've settled for the moon When I was reachin' for the stars And though sometimes I have stumbled I've been known to fall It was always true love That took me to the wall (Repeat chorus) Bridge: Girl, you better hide your love away Girl, you better save it for another day (Repeat chorus) |

Linda works the diner, pourin coffee, slingin hash
She said, "I wouldn't have come in today But I really need the cash I know I can't fool anyone cause dark glasses tell no lies But make-up won't cover up a blackened eye" Oh oh oh no You see Jimmy works construction now But yesterday it rained So he went down to the liquor store And by noon he felt no pain I came in an hour late, then I let his supper burn Well he hit the roof, hit the wall And then it was my turn He said, "A man's home is castle It always has been and so it remains" But he holds the keys in a fist of rage His home is his castle And mine is a cage Someone must have heard the noise and they dialed 911 And the cop who showed up at the door asked, "Is there a problem son" Jimmy smiled and said "No sir, just a little fight that's all Hey you know how it gets sometimes When you're laying down the law" Oh oh oh no So I pulled out my suitcase I started packin up my clothes And Jimmy said, "Now Linda, where do you Expect to go with those" I told him, "I have tried but no an ounce of love survives" Well he grabbed my wrist and shouted "You're not leaving here alive" She said, "I'm saving up my money And when I get the nerve I'll run But Jim don't give up easily so I intend To buy a gun He will never see the way he treats me is a crime Somebody oughta lock him up But I'm the one who's done the time" He said, "A man's home is castle It always has been and so it remains" But he holds the keys in a fist of rage His home is his castle And mine is a cage |

A little girl -
a little small for her age - a little too slow for the field day race. Her momma's waitin' at the finish line to wipe the teardrops from her eyes. She says, "You did just fine, honey, that's okay. Sometime's life's just that way. You're gonna lose the race from time to time, but you're always gonna find: You can't lose me. Bet your life. I am here and I will always be just a wish away. Wherever you go, no matter how far, my love is where you are. You won't be lost if you believe you can't lose me." Momma used to say "Girl it won't be long 'til it's time to go out on your own. Chase your dreams, find your place in life. I know you'll do just fine." But when that day finally came, there were things she needed to but could not say so I whispered softly as I wiped the tears from momma's eyes, "You can't lose me. Bet your life. I am here and I will always be just a wish away. Wherever you go, no matter how far, my love is where you are. You won't be lost if you believe you can't lose me." Oh, you can't lose me. Bet your life. I am here and I will always be, oh yeah, just a wish away. Wherever you go, no matter how far, my love is where you are. You won't be lost if you believe you can't lose me. No, you can't lose me. Wherever you go... My love is where you are. You won't be lost if you believe, you can't lose me |

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. Succesful, and I'm Queen of the Treadmill, tryin' to stay the size you think that I should stay. I used to dream about what I would be, but last night I dreamed about the washing machine. I keep on givin' 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'm needing. I keep on givin' 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 givin' 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. I can't do that anymore |

My heart was once like a home With many rooms and open doors And I always let love in It would change the rooms around and then Leave them empty 'Til one by one I locked each door And soon forgot what love was for But I never gave up hopin' So I left just one door open In case you found me Chorus: So there's a room in my heart for you If your trust has been stolen too If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor And leave behind you the hurt you've had before There's a room in my heart for you We'll paint the walls from blue to white And set the mood by candlelight Together we'll keep out the cold And I'll still be there when we're old If you'll let me (Repeat chorus) |

Heads I win, Tails you lose I always play by my own rules And I don't believe in wasting time So long before we end this night Chorus: I will have held you I will have kissed you I will have claimed you You will be mine I will have loved you Wrong or right I will have your heart You will be mine An unwritten law says a girl should wait Should let the man set his own pace But a woman in love, she's above the law So long before this night is gone (Repeat chorus) Bridge: You top my list of things to do And I will get close to you Before this night is through (Repeat chorus) |
