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 you to make love to me

 I hard enough
 I rough enough
 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
 [bad word] on baby make sweet love to me

 I hard enough
 I rough enough
 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
 [bad word] 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 [bad word] it off
 There's one thing baby
 That I don't understand
 You keep on telling me
 I ain't your kind of man

 Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby
 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'll never be your beast of burden
 I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
 All I want is you to make love to me,
 Yeah

 I don't need no beast of burden
 I need no fussing
 I need no nursing
 Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
