I'll never be your beast of burden

My back is broad but it's a hurting

All I want is for you to make love to me

I'll never be your beast of burden

I've walked for miles my feet are hurting

All I want is for you to make love to me

Am I hard enough

Am I rough enough

Am I rich enough

I'm not too blind to see

I'll never be your beast of burden

So let's go home and draw the curtains

Music on the radio

Come on baby make sweet love to me

Am I hard enough

Am I rough enough

Am I rich enough

I'm not too blind to see

Oh little sister

pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl

You're a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl

Pretty, pretty, Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl

Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl

Come on baby please, please, please

I'll tell ya

You can put me out

On the street

Put me out

With no shoes on my feet

But, put me out, put me out

Put me out of misery

Yeah, all your sickness

I can suck it up

Throw it all at me

I can shrug it off

There's one thing

That I don't understand

You keep on telling me

I ain't your kind of man

Ain't I rough enough, ooh

Ain't I tough enough

Ain't I rich enough, in love enough

Ooh! ooh! please

I'll never be your beast of burden

I'll never be your beast of burden

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

I don't need no beast of burden

I need no fussing I need no nursing

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
