I don't want you to be no slave

I don't want you to work all day

I don't want you to be true

I just want to make love to you

I don't want you to wash my clothes

I don't want you to keep my home

I don't want your money too

I just want to make love to you

Well I can see by the way that you switch and walk

And I can tell by the way that you baby talk

And I know by the way that you treat your man

I wanna love you baby, it's a cryin' shame

I don't want you to bake my bread

I don't want you to make my bed

I don't want you cause I'm sad and blue

I just want to make love to you.
