Hill, Faith - I Can't Do That Anymore Lyrics






Cut my hair the way you wanted
Watched you become important
Quit my job to make our new home far away
Now you're Mr. Successful and I'm queen of the treadmill
Trying to stay the size you think that I should stay
I used to dream about what I would be
Last night I dreamed about a washing machine

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore

Now you say I'm being silly
But you don't know me really
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
I keep the checkbook balanced
I decorate your palace
You know I used to think that you were king
Somewhere down deep I know you really love me
But you can't see that what we have's not all I needed

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore

You try to tell me I'm not being fair to you
But life's too short for a selfish attitude

I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I don't like depending
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore

Hill, Faith I Can't Do That Anymore Comments
  1. h.... ....

    This is the case of a hipergamy feminist woman that met the guy and she though that he was king, pay everything for her, bought a farm with the chance to get oil, so she though maybe this is the rich guy, but after 2 years of getting nothing and pretending the woman role, she was bored because no oil and start complaining of her "pitiful woman role" and suddenly when the oil came out she jumps of happiness, now she is a happy woman and he is her king

  2. L.... R....

    Great music! I feel this Everytime I hear it. Country had so much meaning back then.

  3. S.... N....

    COUNTRY MUSIC BRASIL

  4. S.... N....

    Faith Hill SIMPLE THE BEST

  5. b.... S....

    Shes such a beautiful person inside and out

  6. P.... L....

    I love this song...Faith Hill you're great

  7. N.... M....

    This song was my marriage to a T. Sad to say we are now divorced because he didn't listen.

  8. S.... B....

    One of my favorite songs by Faith <3

  9. Y.... Q....

    This woman is so smart and beautiful. She has beautiful children/young adults and a magnificent husband! You have it all Faith. Xo

  10. M.... ....

    Life’s too short, for selfish attitudes!!! 👍

  11. R.... F....

    He was stressed cuz he worked all the time..not knowing he was taking her for granted

  12. M.... G....

    Damnit woman! A man’s gotta work

  13. j.... p....

    everytime i hear this song it reminds me of my ex boyfriend

  14. L.... C....

    Was my life.. Then he got sick.. I have to see this to the end...

    L.... C....

    so sorry to hear that

  15. H.... ....

    She sounds very Reba-ish in the beginning of this song!

  16. J.... B....

    Wasnt this written by Alan Jackson?

  17. C.... ....

    It's a good song. She's a good singer. But....the comments are a tad dramatic. Like, don't move for someone if you don't want to. Establish that prior to marriage. And after that, marriage is give it takes. It's not, men are horrible. Women are horrible. People are horrible in general. So relationships are hard. And if one person is more selfish, then that'll always be the fight. But seriously, if you ever knocked my coffee over, it would get real real fast. lolol

  18. P.... P....

    This is the total package Perfect song for the perfect singer and a perfect time for country music

  19. C.... R....

    I love her short hair here.

  20. C.... L....

    I've never heard this song before. I'm going through a divorce so strange I stumbled upon this.

  21. J.... B....

    One of the few songs Alan Jackson wrote for someone else.

  22. B.... H....

    My bet is on Tim McGraw that he can take that guy that knocks the coffee cup out of Faith's hand. You don't touch his Faith❤

  23. T.... S....

    I got a new boyfriend Tom Thomas he nice to me

  24. B.... M....

    Just after this song Alan Jackson separated from his wife. The words really are art represent true life.

  25. V.... W....

  42. J.... B....

    This song takes me way back!! 😕

  43. J.... K....

    this works both ways....

  44. M.... A....

    I can relate to this Song

  45. b.... P....

    The person your in a relationship with should love you just the way you are you

  46. s.... g....

    You were already part of something important! If you can't see that, then you're blind..multiple affairs do not make you an important woman!! It makes you an ex wife! Enjoy your weak ass job...goodbye...and make your own YouTube account! Get off mine, your opinions don't matter anymore! Play your sympathy games on your account!

    s.... g....

    steven gill o for real. so it's like that.

  47. A.... I....

    If someone truly love a person they could accept them for who they are . not what they think they could been !

    A.... I....

    Or want them to be

  48. J.... a....

    The way I see it is if a man can't love me the way that I'm suppose to be loved then i don't need him. It don't matter if your fat skinny short tall he should love you just the way you are. Females feelings are easier hurt then a males. Me as a female I've had my feelings hurt so many times by my ex saying that I need to loose weigh or something just to put me down. Well I lost all my weight which I wasn't that big to start with and that still wasn't good enough for him but now I have a man and he is wonderful to me I can't thank God enough for sending this man to me. Jarvis Combs I Amanda Combs loves you till death do us part and if there is life after that I'll love you then too

    J.... a....

    Jarvis and Amanda Combs Jenny is that ur new name. now.

  49. c.... v....

    Thats true!!!! Men never lisen....😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  52. P.... ....

    She has a Beautiful voice.

  53. V.... D....

    Remarriage is a better thing

  54. G.... C....

    I use to love singing all these old song's.

  55. B.... F....

    It's hard to believe this song was written by Alan Jackson  for Faith...very sensitive lyrics....

    B.... F....

    Barry Fangmann yep..Alan knows how to write a song that's for sure
    One of the best !

  56. P.... L....

    I have always love this song

  57. F.... C....

    very true I was going over and beyond for Sara and at the end I got nothing

  58. S.... L....

    A man is a whole story to a woman and we are only a sentence to them.

    S.... L....

    That sums it up.

    S.... L....

    Speaking from the male perspective, who asked you to be the whole story?

    S.... L....

    Dale wills who asked you to be the whole story? Why do we only deserve to be sentences? Not worth even a chapter? Nahhh.

  59. M.... L....

    Love Hey

  60. J.... C....

    To the man who is in my life till the end Jon Campbell

  61. m.... c....

    My favorite song by faith hill and honestly she is the best recording female country artist ever and can i say she is so gorgeous its litterly insane 😱😱😱😍😍😍

    m.... c....

    macki cooper would you mind me asking how it's possible to have a favorite from talent like this

    m.... c....

    countrygirl country musiclover hahaha FAITH HILL is just amazing, but this is the song i listen to the most so i consider it my favorite 💗

  62. R.... G....

    If only a woman could consider the irony to this song. She is living the dream. The man is working his life away and providing every single dime for her to live and she is pissed. Men haven't a chance in western society. Women are never happy. Any man marrying today is a fool

    R.... G....

    Well let's not be TOO dramatic there. I mean not every man who marries is a fool. Some men don't want a housewife. I am a stay-at-home mom and wife are I do everything. And I'm okay with it. I even contribute monetarily after the kids are in bed. So. Don't group us all as one.

    R.... G....

    I think this song is a perfect example of how money doesn't buy love or happiness. yes, her husband works his life away in the video to give them a nice life....but that doesn't matter because all she wants is to feel loved and have what they had in the beginning. she's giving everything she has to make sure he is happy because like she says "deep down i know you really love me" but she keeps hoping that that magic will come back into their life like it was before. and i don't think thats too much to ask. and i think this situation can be made for any type of relationship. one like in the video, or one where the woman is the breadwinner, etc. regardless it is a very beautiful song :)

    R.... G....

    Matthew LaFollette well said women just want to know we are loved we don't need you to work your life away most of us rather have a strong loving marriage and know we are being heard more than we care about money

  63. M.... C....

    I really enjoyed you and Tim, the bullets flying but, my HP, Creator, my crazy life story is so much more than could or would
    Tell, unless was with people; l know can Trust! Yessssssssss,

  64. B.... D....

    listening in 2017 and a woman does need something of her own

    B.... D....

    Women need love and respect.

    B.... D....

    I was thinking the same thing as I read this. You’re right.

  65. J.... C....

    My favorite song of Faith's. She's awesome n this video.

  66. R.... F....

    She likes happy endings.

    R.... F....

    She's telling the true I the situations before I just broke up with my ex cuz he been treating me bad

  67. H.... T....

    And I left him ...

  68. H.... T....

    I lived with Mr control played this over n over again ...not played it for 4 yrs ..sad memories

  69. S.... S....

  72. L.... V....

    " Me me me " that is so my husband smh always want to know what's for breakfast lunch or dinner. And when he gets home on the phone talking to whoever ignoring me ignoring the kids and then before bed he always wants me to check his back or rubs his feet . Nope

    L.... V....

    Loca Valdivia maybe u need to leave him? :) that sounds like a good idea u shouldnt be neglected like she is in this song 😱

    L.... V....

    Same. And an attitude in between and accuses me of having an attitude for asking a question.

  73. A.... G....

    My six year battle with cancer just got worse, with a split between self and reality. Never overcoming the truth, and I love a happy ending instead of pretending. I can't do this anymore! I like independence, not beginnings. Myliah 2013

  74. T.... O....

    sounds like me

  75. N.... C....

    ooo god i wish my old man would see me more then just his baby momma, im a stay at home mother to two toddlers, cook, clean, iron his clothes down to his socks, keep up the yard, animals, and hes always gone for work, if im lucky get two text a day.

    N.... C....

    Send him a text with the link to this video or to mindy mccready's maybe he'll notice her now music video.

  76. K.... C....

    Faith sounds a little like Reba in this song, especially in the first verse.

    K.... C....

    Kimberly Coulter Yes she really does

    K.... C....

    Kimberly Coulter I’m thinking a strong Tammy Wynette root

  77. T.... L....

    HAP[PYTIMES  IF LIVING WAS EASY TO STOP WHEN LIFE IS PROHIBITED I WOULD TAKE MY WASHING MASINE DREAM THESE DAYS WELL THOSE DAYS TOO..

    You shouldn`t have to do everything someone wants just to be with them. They should love you for who you are and nothing more

    J.... G....

    I am 17 and feel same

  83. E.... R....

    For those of you who Love this song as much as I do. I did a Cover of this song&Would love if any of yall would check it out☺👍

  84. W.... D....

    Written by Alan Jackson and produced by Scott Hendricks, "I Can't Do That Anymore" was released in October 1996 and reached #8 on the Billboard Country charts.

    W.... D....

    William Duke well thank you for that extremely useless information. Next time you post something make sure people actually give a shit about what you're posting

    W.... D....

    I wonder why Keith Stegall didn't produce it? You would think with an Alan-written song, that Keith would produce it

    W.... D....

    What William posted is actually trivia about the song, for people that are interested

  85. k.... m....

    this is a womderfull song

  86. F.... ....

    OH NO HE DID NOT KNOCK THAT CUP OF COFFEE OUT OF FAITH HILL'S HAND.☕

    F.... ....

    FaithHillFANatic telling me this

    F.... ....

    FaithHillFANatic maybe he didn't want her drinking one of the nastiest drinks to ever exist. Coffee is absolutely disgusting as fuck. I cringed just typing the word

  87. V.... M....

    A great song written by Alan Jackson.

    V.... M....

    As only Mr.Jackson can do it...

    V.... M....

    Violet Miller I didn’t know Alan Jackson wrote this song

  88. G.... ....

    I must be crazy because I remember this ending differently.  I remember the ending being him trying to destroy the derrick because of some reason or another and she runs out yelling "No!  No!" as she runs out and tries to stop him and as they're fighting, it started spouting water.  Like I said, I'm crazy.

    G.... ....

    i was thinking the same thing....WERE NOT CRAZY!!

    G.... ....

    OMG!  You remember that ending too!?  YAY!  I'm not crazy!

  89. E.... G....

    Live l9c

  90. P.... E....

    This is exactly what happened to my marriage everything about this song is what my wife has felt, and I finally realized that but its too late she is already to far gone, and here I am in a country I dont belong in supposedly defending our country, id give anything to try again but I cant go back. Men always give your wife the attention and affection and moral support she needs and never take her for granted they are strong and will leave if not, dont make my mistakes you don't want to feel what I feel now and have to start all over again with someone else because that person who is gone will always be on your mind, I have heard this song twice now and I cant listen to it ever again without thinking of her.

    P.... E....

    U a cop? Sorry u just have a cops name is all.
    German yourself better man

    P.... E....

    I feel the same way about my woman too

    P.... E....

    Did U The Know That The Awesome Alan Jackson Is The Sole Writer Of This Song

    P.... E....

    This is my marriage now. After 14 years my once happy marriage has turned into me resenting him for this kind of crap

    P.... E....

    Parker Evans 😢hopefully now
    You know how they feel so the next person you’ll date you’ll be aware

  91. S.... K....

    Wow I forgot how good she used to be

    S.... K....

    S.P King She still is great! I have never forgotten that!

  92. R.... S....

    Alan Jackson Is The Sole Writer Of This Song

    R.... S....

    actually people do its kinda somethin to know

    R.... S....

    Julia Deemer exactly. I appreciated it because I never knew that. I would have never thought a guy would have connected to a female perspective as well as he did writing this song.

    R.... S....

    Alan Jackson connects to a lot of people and situations that's what country music is about

    R.... S....

    You are correct!

    R.... S....

    That's why he's had so many #1 hits, Julia!

  93. M.... R....

    true devotion => a role model for all housewives ;)
