(track 7 - time 3:13)



Well i said he had a lot of potential

He was only misunderstood

You know he didn't really mean to treat me so bad

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



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 pickup truck

Really didn't prove anything

And 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

Even though i caught him dancin' last night

With a girl in a leopard skin pants

Yeah, he's probably stuck in traffic

And he'll be here in a litte while

Just call me cleopatra everybody, 'cause i'm the queen of denial



Oh queen of denial, buyin' all his alibis

Queen of denial, just floatin' down a river of lies
