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

Chorus:

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

Chorus
