(1997)"I Can't Do That Anymore" is the title of a song recorded by American
country music artistFaith Hill . Written byAlan Jackson , it was the fifth single from Hill's "It Matters to Me " album.The song is a mid-tempo focusing on the female narrator, who sacrifices her individuality by giving up a job, cutting her hair, and tending to household chores in an attempt to satisfy her husband. Finally, she demands acknowledgement for her deeds, saying that she can no longer do what she has been doing, because "a woman needs a little something of her own".cite book |last=Wolfe |first=Charles K. |coauthors=James Edward Akenson |title=The Women of Country Music |origyear=2003 |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=5GgJnix0xEUC&pg=PA128&lpg=PA128&dq=%22I+can%27t+do+that+anymore%22+%22alan+jackson%22+-lyrics+-mp3+-tickets+-tabs&source=web&ots=epXLvtYsCF&sig=KKvHPlQ26Q-Y7T9CqQ0zDaygwcQ&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPA117,M1 |accessdate=2008-09-09 |publisher=University Press of Kentucky |pages=117] In their 2003 book "The Women of Country Music", authors Charles K.
