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....

Ah, the joys of physical therapy!
