Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far awayNow 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
But last night I dreamed about a washing machineI keep on givin', but I can't stop livin'
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings, I don't like dependin'
I keep right on pretendin', but I can't do that anymoreNow you say I'm bein' silly
But you don't know me really
You never take the time to ask me how I feelI 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 neededI keep on givin', but I can't stop livin'
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings, I don't like dependin'
I keep right on pretendin', but I can't do that anymoreYou try to tell me
I'm not bein' fair to you
But life's too short for a selfish attitudeOh, I keep on givin', but I can't stop livin'
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings, I don't like dependin'
I keep right on pretendin', but I can't do that anymore
No, I can't do that anymore
