Cleopatra, Queen Of Denial Pam Tillis 1992 | (Chic 2009) Patty Greene |
OPENER Mainstream
Sides face grand square
I said he had a lot of potential
He was only misunderstood
He really didn't mean to treat me bad
He wanted to be good
Allemande and weave
And I swore one day I would tame him
Even though he loved to run hog-wild
Just call me, Cleopatra, everybody
cause, I'm the queen of denial
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads lead right, veer left
Chain down that line
Chain the ladies right back across, and then
Star thru, square thru 5 hands roll it round that floor
*Well I knew he didn't have any money
Swing and promenade her home
Just call me Cleopatra, everybody
Cause I'm the queen of denial
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*And he never had to say he loved me
Now I'm not gonna jump to conclusions
Oh, he's probably stuck in traffic
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
Sides face grand square
Queen of denial, buyin' all his alibis
Queen of denial, floatin' down a river of lies
Allemande left and weave
(Instrumental)
TAG
(Optional) Queen of denial!
