Beast of Burden Lyrics by Johnny Rawls

Tiger in a Cage

2016

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll never be your beast of burden
My back is strong but it’s hurtin’
All I want from you, to make sweet love to me
Oh, that’s all I want, baby
I’ll never be your beast of burden
I walk for miles, my feet are hurtin’
All I want from you, to make sweet love to me
That’s all I want, babe
[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
Am I too blind to see?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll never be your beast of burden
So let’s go home and, uh, draw the curtain
Music on the radio
Come on, baby, make sweet love to me
Oh, that’s all I want, babe
[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
Am I too blind to see?
[Verse 1]
Oh, now, sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty girl
You a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty girl
Come on, baby
Please, please, please
Would you put me out on the street?
Uh huh, would you put me out with no shoes on my feet?
But would you put me out, put me out of my misery?
Oh, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Just one thing, baby
That I don’t understand
How can you keep on tellin’ me
I’m not your kind of man?
I don’t understand that, baby
No, no
[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
Am I too blind to see?
Oh, baby
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
Am I too blind to see?
[Outro]
Oh, baby, please
Please
Come on now, baby
Look here, girl
I don’t need no fussin’
No, I don’t need no nursin’
None of that, baby
I’ll never, never, never, never be your beast of burden, babe
This the only thing I wanna do
All I wanna do, all I wanna do is
