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
