Beast of Burden Lyrics


Now write this downI'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's hurtin'
All I want is for you to make love to meI'll never be your beast of burden
I walk for miles, my feet are hurtin'
All I want is for you to make love to meWhat's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough?
Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see, ohh, ohhI'll never be your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Put some music on the radio
C'mon, baby, make some love to meOh, what's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough?
Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see, ohh, ohhMy little sister is a pretty, pretty girl
My little sister is a pretty, pretty girl
She loves to ride, she loves to crawl

They love to take her out behind the garden wallAnd when they're done they just throw her away
And she don't have an awful lot to say
It hurts her so bad to come to the end
I remember all the times she spent sayin', pleaseAin't I hot enough?
Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohhI'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad, baby but it's a' hurtin'
And all I want is you to make love to meWhat's the matter, what's the matter with me?
Ain't I hot enough?
Ooh, yeah, ain't I rough enough?
Ooh, yeah, ain't I rich enough, rich enough, rich enough
Too blind to see? Too blind, too blind, ohhI'll never be your beast of burden
I walk for miles, honey, my feet are hurtin'
And all I want is for you to make love to me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bette Midler (December 1, 1945) is an American singer, actress, and comedian, also known to her fans and especially in gay culture, as The Divine Miss M. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Jewish parents from New Jersey, and raised there. Midler relocated to New York City to pursue acting on stage, and in 1970 she began singing at the Continental Baths, a gay bathhouse in the city, where she became close to her piano accompanist, Barry Manilow, who produced her first major album, The Divine Miss M in 1973. She is named after the actress Bette Davis although Davis pronounced her name in two syllables, and Midler uses one.

During her career, she has won four Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award, and has been nominated for two Academy Awards. She is currently performing a new concert show, The Showgirl Must Go On, live five nights a week as one of the current headliners at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (together with Cher and Elton John).
