  • 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 Writer/s: BOB DIPIERO, JAN BUCKINGHAM, PAM TILLIS
