Lyrics

I don’t want you

to be no slave,

I don’t want you

to work all day.

But I want you

to be true, and I just wan na make love to you.

Love to you

ooh ooh

love to you.

All I to do

is wash your clothes,

to

keep you in doors.

There is no thing

for you to do but keep me mak ing

Love to you

ooh ooh

love to you.

And I can (Eb7)tell by the way (Ab)you walk that walk, and I can hear by the way you talk that talk, and I can know by the way you treat your girl that I could (F7)give you all the lov in’ in the whole wide world.

cook bread,

just to make sure

you’re well fed.

I don’t

sad and blue

Love to you

ooh ooh

love to you.

And I can (Eb7)tell by the way (Ab)you walk that walk, and I can hear by the way you talk that talk, and I can know by the way you treat your girl that I could (F7)give you all the lov in’ in the whole wide world.
