Beast Of Burden Lyrics By Bette Midler

    now write this down

    i’ll never be your beast of burden
    my back is broad but it’s a’ hurtin’
    all i want is for you to make love to me

    i’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 me

    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 ohhh

    i’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 me

    oh 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 ohhh

    my 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 wall

    and 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 re i remember all the times she spent sayin’ please

    ain’t i hot enough ain’t i rough enough
    ain’t i rich enough i’m not too blind to see ohh ohhh
    ohh ohhhh

    i’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 me

    what’s the matter what’s the matter with me
    ain’t i hot enough oooh yeah ain’t i rough enough
    oooh yeah ain’t i rich enough rich enough rich enough
    too blind to see too blind too blind ohhhh

    i’ll never be your beast of burden
    i walk for miles honey my feet are hurtin’
    and all i want is you to make love to me
