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
