cleopatra, queen of denial

Singer:pam tillis

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

buyin' 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.
