love is all you need.. blues style

I don't want you
to be no slave
I don't want you baby
to work all day
I don't want you
to be true

I just wanna make love to you.

I don't want you
to wash my clothes
I don't want you baby
to keep no home
I don't want your
money too

I just wanna make love to you.

I can tell by the way you
switch and walk
I can tell by the way that you
baby talk
I can see the way that you
treat your man
That I could love you baby . . .

It's a cryin shame.

I don't want you
wash my head
I don't want you baby
to cook my bread
I don't want you cause
I'm sad and blue

I just wanna make love to you.
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
