E There's something 'bout your manner B That makes it hard to see C#m A Just how you take advantage of a working girl like me E I've seen you set 'em up B And I've seen you take 'em down C#m B Our love is legal tender for your kind to pass around E C#m B Don't want your bed of roses E C#m B Don't want no handful of thorns E C#m B Don't want to be your living doll F# B Don't want to be no woman scorned A I don't want to watch you turn the page B C#m A When our chapter closes F# B C#m B 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 reaching for the stars I know that I have stumbled and I've been known to fall But it was always true love that took me to the wall Chorus Chorus
