I don't want you to be no slave
I don't want you to work all day
I don't want to 'cause I'm sad and blue
I just want to make love to you

Baby, love to you

I don't want you to cook my bread
I don't want you to make my bed
I don't want your money too
I just want to make love to you

'Cause I can tell by the way that you stitch and walk
See by the way that you baby talk
Know by the way that you treat your man
I could love you, baby, 'til a crying shame

I don't want you to wash my clothes
I don't want you to keep my home
I don't want to 'cause I'm sad and blue
I just want to make love to you

Yes

I just want to make love to you
