GI was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my Dhand But I was Gsad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no Dplans
[Break] G [Pre-chorus]
GAnd I left the footprints, the mud Cstained on the Gcarpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left Dtown But I Gmust admit it, that I would Cmarry you in an iGnstant Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you Daround
[Chorus]
But I was Glate for Dthis, Clate for Gthat, Clate for the Glove of my Dlife And when I Gdie Dalone, when I Cdie Galone, when I Cdie I'll Gbe on Dtime
[Break] G [Pre-chorus II]
While the Gchurch discouraged, any Clust that burned within Gme Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held Dtrue So I Gdrive a taxi, and the Ctraffic Gdistracts me From the Cstrangers in my Gbackseat, they remind me Dof you
[Chorus]
But I was Glate for Dthis, Clate for Gthat, Clate for the Glove of my Dlife And when I Gdie Dalone, when I Cdie Galone, when I Cdie I'll Gbe on Dtime
[Bridge]
And the Emonly gifts from my GLord were a Cbirth Dand a Emdivorce But I've Gread this script and the Emcostume fits, Cso I'll pDlay my Gpart
[Break] G [Pre-chorus II]
I was GCleopatra, I was Ctaller than the Grafters But that's all in the past now, gone with the Dwind Now a Gnurse in white shoes Cleads me back to my Gguestroom It's a Cbed and a Gbathroom And a place for the Dend
[Chorus]
I won't be lGate for Dthis, Clate for Gthat, Clate for the Glove of my Dlife And when I Gdie Dalone, when I Cdie Galone, when I Cdie I'll Gbe on Dtime
