 Queen of Denial » Lyrics [+ Tillsätt +] |

1. _ Don't Tell Me What to Do
We tried and we tried but it's over
Guess I didn't fit the image in your mind
Now you tell me to find another lover
But baby, aren't you gettin' outta line
Don't tell me what to do
You've already said we are through
I'm a page that you have turned
I'm no longer your concern
So don't tell me what to do
I'll love you forever if I want to do
You're no longer in charge of my thinkin'
You're already in love with someone else
So if I'm into all night honky tonkin'
Well I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself
Don't tell me what to do
You've already said we are through
I'm a page that you have turned
I'm no longer your concern
So don't tell me what to do
I'll love you forever if I want to do

2. _ In Between Dances
There's room at my table, why don't you pull up a seat?
The music's inviting but I'm staying off of my feet
The floor's getting crowded, but I don't want to take part
I bet you can guess it's got something to do with my heart
[Chorus:]
I could sure use your company now
But don't be mistaking my smile
I'm only in between dances
Sitting it out for a while
The partners are chosen, look at them
Waltzing away
The tempo gets slower, closer and closer
They sway
I've had my moments when I could get lost in
The sound
But when the song ended the one in my arms
Let me down
[Chorus]
I could sure use your company now
But don't be mistaking my smile
I'm only in between dances
Sitting it out for a while
Have you been in my shoes?
I search your eyes for signs
Will you remain, remember my name
After it's closing time
[Chorus]
I could sure use your company now
But don't be mistaking my smile
I'm only in between dances
Sitting it out for a while
I'm only in between dances
Sitting it out for a while

3. _ When You Walk in the Room
I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playin' lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I feel a summer's night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room
Baby it's a dream come true
Standin' right along side of you
Wish I could show you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a something pounding in my brain
Just any time that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound I hear thunder boom
Every time that you walk in the room

4. _ Maybe It Was Memphis
Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katydid sing like a symphony
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing through the willow tree
[Chorus]
What was I supposed to do
Standing there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away
[Chorus]
Every night now since I've been back home
I lie awake drifting in my memory
I think about you on your momma's front porch swing
Talking that way so soft to me
[Chorus]
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
[Chorus]

5. _ I Said a Prayer
Under the sun, under the moon
Under the sky midnight blue
Under the maple, under the roof
I got down on my knees and told the truth
I told Him I was tired of feeling lonely
And I could really use my one and only
Oh, oh, I said a prayer for you baby
And somehow it got through
Oh, oh, I said a prayer for you baby
Now look at you
Wasn't God feelin' good that day
Na na na na na na
I heard you praying for
Na na na na na na
I got more, so much more
Just down the street, just down the road
Walking along, how could you have known
It must have been strange that little burning in your soul
Sorry 'bout the lightnin' bolt
But I told him I was tired of being lonely
And I could really use my one and only
Oh, oh, I said a prayer for you baby
And somehow it got through
Oh, oh I said a prayer for you baby
Now look at you
Wasn't God feelin' good that day
I said a prayer for you...

6. _ Mi Vida Loca [My Crazy Life]
If you're coming with me you need
nerves of steel
'Cause I take corners on two wheels
It's a never-ending circus ride
The faint of heart need not apply
Chorus:
Mi vida loca over and over
Destiny turns on a dime
I go where the wind blows
You can't tame a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life
Sweetheart before this night is through
I could fall in love with you
Come dancing on the edge with me
Let my passion set you free
Chorus
Here in the firelight I see your tattoo
Mi vida loco, so you're crazy too
Chorus
We'll go where the wind blows
And I'll be a wild rose
Welcome to my crazy life

7. _ Shake the Sugar Tree
Love you're gettin' lazy
You're forgettin' to give me
Sweet sugar words that I want to hear
You've been neglectin' me
You know jealousy, it is bitter as a green spring berry
You're like fruit from a fickle vine
You turn sweet in the nick of time
Love, you only come alive when you're losin' me
And it's a childish game
I've got to shake you up just to wake you up
To make you love me
I'll shake the sugar tree
Till I feel your love falling
All around me
You've got to tend to what you've planted
And if you take my love for granted baby
I'll shake the sugar tree
Another night and you're sleepin'
I'm awake and I'm dreamin'
Oh honey 'bout the way you used to be
A little time's gone by
Now do you think that I'm content
With the cookin' and the payin' of the rent
No, I want to know if your love's all spent
I'll shake the sugar tree
Till I feel your love falling
All around me
You've got to tend to what you've planted
And if you take my love for granted baby
I'll shake the sugar tree
I've got to raise some commotion
Before you show me
Some real emotion

8. _ All the Good Ones Are Gone
She'll turn thirty-four this weekend
She'll go out with her girlfriends
They'll drink some margaritas, cut up and carry on
There'll be guys and there'll be come ons
She'll probably get hit on
But she thinks all the good ones are gone
She's got friends down at the office
And she can't help but notice
That when the day is over
How they all hurry home
Every day there's guys she works with
And even some she flirts with
But it seems like all the good ones are gone
And her mama called this mornin'
Said I'm worried about my baby
I wish you had a family of your own
She said mom it's not that easy
You make it sound so simple
But you can't take the first man that comes along
Once she had someone who loved her
Back when she was younger
Now she wonders if she held out
A little bit too long
Back then there were so many
Now there just aren't any
It seems like all the good ones are gone
And her mama called this mornin'
Said I'm worried about my baby
I wish you had a family of your own
She said mom it's not that easy
You make it sound so simple
But you can't take the first man that comes along
She'll turn thirty-four this weekend
She'll go out with her girlfriends
They'll drink some margaritas, cut up and carry on

9. _ Do You Know Where Your Man Is
Night is fallin' on this honky tonk city
Country music spillin' out on the street
Sure can sound good to a hard workin' man
At the end of a hard workin' week
Did you kiss him when he left this morning
Does he know that he's needed at home
If you don't feel that old thrill
Then somebody else will
There's some mighty good women all alone
It's 10:00, do you know where your man is
And are you sure that he's doin' you right
Are you still in his heart when he's out of your sight
Do you know where your man is tonight?
Sometimes lovers just get too busy
Livin' their lives day by day
A true lovin' heart is so hard to find
And so easy to let slip away
So if he's there by your side
Count your blessing
Hold him and show him you care
'Cause temptation's strong when there's no love at home
And there's so much temptation out there

10. _ Cleopatra, Queen of Denial
Well I said he had a lot of potential
He was only misunderstood
You know he really didn't mean to treat me so bad
You know he wanted to be good
And I swore one day I would tame him
Even though he loved to run hog wild
Just call me Cleopatra everybody
'Cause I'm the Queen of Denial
Well now I knew he didn't have any money
Yeah that's why he couldn't buy me a ring
Oh and just because he bought himself a brand new pick-up truck
Really didn't prove anything
Yeah he never had to say he loved me
I could see it every time he smiled
Just call me Cleopatra everybody
'Cause I'm the Queen of Denial
Oh Queen of Denial
Buyin' all his alibis
Queen of Denial
Floatin' down a river of lies
Well I'm not gonna jump to conclusions
Or throw away this perfect romance
Oh even though I caught him dancin' last night
With a girl in leapord skin pants
Yeah, he's probably stuck in traffic
And he'll be here in a little while
Just call me Cleopatra everybody
'Cause I'm the Queen of Denial
Oh Queen of Denial
Buyin' all his alibis
Queen of Denial
Floatin' down a river of lies
