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
