Home Cookin Lyrics By Jr Walker The All Stars

    i need home home cookin’ yeah
    i need home home cookin’ yeah

    he said a woman’s place
    is in the kitchen
    but in the kitchen you are a flop
    them meals that you been fixin’
    they ain’t nothin’ but yesterday’s slop

    an’ i like your wiggly walk
    i like your baby talk yeah
    you’re neat the way you look
    but you ain’t nothin’
    if you can’t cook

    i need home home cookin’ yeah
    i need home home cookin’ yeah

    hot i sweat all day
    i rush back home to see what you cookin’
    your beans are burned
    you’ve ruined my place
    and in the mirror i find you lookin’

    now i like sweet candied yams
    and i like homemade hamhocks
    instead of study how you look
    you oughta study
    your mama’s cookbook

    if you want a soul man
    get to rattlin’ them pots and pans

    i need home home cookin’
    i need home home cookin’

    yeah

    hot gravy
    that pot roast
    that pickled beets
    and sugared toast

    i like your wiggly walk yeah
    and i like your way atalkin’
    and you look neat the way you look
    but you ain’t nothin’
    if you can’t cook

    i need home home cookin’
    i’m in the mood
    for soul food

    i said home home cookin’
