I Can't Do That Anymore

Cut my hair the way you wanted

Watched you become important

Quit my job to 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 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

And 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

I can't do that anymore
