Don't Make Me Bend
Written by Helen Jo Luther
To the tune of Don't Let It End, written by Dennis DeYoung
What can I do
arching in a U
still makes me cry
Trying to bend like
a circus girl
its so hard to do
some nights I wake up
I'm gripping my pillow
Hoping the cramping will cease
But I get up each day
and I head your way
I've gotta be brave
Physical Therapy - I'm inside
'cause I need to move
so if you'll give me the heat
and the whirlpool, The massage and
the treadmill workout
Wait and see, I'll be fine if you let me be
I'm praying you won't say...NO!...
I mean to tell you
Don't make be bend
baby, I'll even do 1000 curls
Don't make me bend
Honey please don't force me that way
I'm telling you, Doctor,
I've made my mistakes,
But I'll make you this promise,
I'll stretch and I'll tone
I'll be there on the life-cyce,
I'll work up a sweat
You got my full heart rate
On any machine you choose
(but)
Don't make me bend
baby, I am sorry I cried
Don't make me bend
Honey, please have mercy on me
Don't make me bend
I'm begging you
Don't make me bend this way
Don't make me bend
I'm beggin you
don't make me bend this way
No no no....oh, no no....
What will I do
If you say you're through
I need you to stay
But honey, Don't make me bend this
Way...
ahhhhhhhhh...ohhhohhh....
