Clown In Your Rodeo Lyrics - Walking Away A Winner - Kathy Mattea

Hey there little cactus flower your ways are sharper than a knife 

And they cause the heart to bleed 

You think that love is flower well baby you abused the right to rule over me 

Cause love should keep you feeling warm and all right 

But when I'm close to you I just get frostbite 

I ain't gonna be the clown in your rodeo I ain't gonna be the freak in your fair 

I ain't gonna be the floor for your do-si-do 

No baby gonna dust you off and ride on out of here 

Hey there little bronco buster 

Did you think you had me trained to meet your every whim 

Well hand me my feather duster 

I'm cleaning house I'll end the game before my heart starts caving in 

Cause this love affair has taken me through hell some 

Now I believe that I've worn out my welcome 

I ain't gonna be the clown... 

[ dobro - fiddle ] 

Cause love should keep... 

I ain't gonna be the clown...
