Songtext Roll over and play dead Jan Howard

Roll over and play dead

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
