lyrics

What we had is something I can never dismiss
But, an expression I cannot resist
For I never thought it would come to this
I had so much love for you, pure bliss
But, now I really gotta lay it down in my own fashion, a true clown
Court jester with her scepter
Time’s up your majesty I know you taught me everything
Now your throne’s up for grabs
Pardon me, what a travesty
You really thought you could hold me down
Pull my strings like your musical puppet
Wind me up
Watch me dance
Rockette’s gonna take the stage
Break it down real slow, let it sink in
So you know what you are to me now

You’re just another notch in my bedpost
You’re nothing but cards and love notes tonight

How does it feel to be tucked away today
With the others in my memory box?
Didn’t think it’d be you, but opportunity knocks
Your own file with your name on it
You even made the sound bank with Joe and Frank
An honor I declare for those aware of my destructive intentions
I think I need to mention before the end of this session
Cause I’m a new woman now
That old me took a bow
And I’m the best me yet
A real catch
Thanks for cultivating my path to greatness

I won’t forget you although we’re through
I need to slow it down in my debut
So I can remind you

You’re just another notch in my bedpost
You’re nothing but cards and love notes tonight
You’re just another notch in my bedpost
You’re nothing but cards and love notes out of sight

You look at me and I look at you
It’s the same old pattern we’ve been goin’ through
The hot the cold
The ups and downs
We run around in circles
Trying to figure it out
Trying to figure it out
I’ve gotta put it down on paper cause I don’t have words
Every time I see you I start to fade my vision blurs
I reach for your familiar figure, but you can’t be found
I guess I figured it out
I guess I figured it out

You’re just another notch in my bedpost
You’re nothing but cards and love notes tonight
You’re just another notch in my bedpost
You’re nothing but cards and love notes out of sight
You’re just another notch in my bedpost
You’re nothing but cards and love notes tonight, tonight, tonight
You’re not the only one for me
