Roll Over And Play Dead Lyrics - Jan Howard

I ain't gonna roll over and play dead 

You can get that nonsense sister right outta your head 

You go ahead and try to steal my man but you're gonna have the fire on your hands 

Cause I ain't gonna roll over and play dead 

You've hung enough jewelry on yourself to look like a neon sign 

With your manicured nails and the hair spray on you sure do look real fine 

And any fool can tell that you've gotten my baby in your sights 

I guess you think your soulful lookin' that I won't put into fight 

But I ain't gonna roll over... 

[ dobro ] 

Well I can't buy those clothes you wear to look like a beauty queen 

And I don't look like a covered girl on a fashion magazine 

But you can't substitute real love with fancy trills and lace 

And all you got that I ain't got is more makeup on your face 

So I ain't gonna roll over... 

Not not me no I ain't gonna roll over and play dead 

This is my way for fightin' and I ain't gonna roll over and play dead
