Cleopatra, Queen Of Denial

(álbum: Homeward Looking Angel - 1992)

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,
He wanted to be good.
And I swore one day I would tame him,
Even though he loves to run hog wild.
Just call me Cleopatra, everybody,
Cause I'm the Queen of Denial.

Well I knew he didn't have any money,
That's why he couldn't buy me a ring.
Oh, and just because he bought himself a brand new pickup truck,
Really didn't prove anything.
And he never had to say he loved me,
I could see it everytime he smiled.
Just call me Cleopatra, everybody,
Cause I'm the Queen of Denial.

Oh Queen of Denial
Buying all his alibis.
Queen of Denial,
Just floating down a river of lies.

Now I'm not gonna jump to conclusions,
Or throw away this perfect romance,
Even though I saw him dancing last night
With a girl in leopard skin pants.
Oh 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.

Queen of Denial,
Buying all his alibis,
Queen of Denial,
Just floating down a river of lies.
