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 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 ooh

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

No oh, I can't do that anymore
