1. I don't want you, cook my bread
I don't want you, make my bed
I don't want your money, too
I just wanna make love to you

I don't want you, be no slave
I don't want you, work all day
I don't want you to be sad and blue
I just wanna make love to you

I can tell by the way that you baby talk
I can see by the way that you switch and walk
I can tell by the way that you treat your man
But I could love you, baby, it's a cryin' shame

I don't want you, wash my clothes
I don't want you, keep a home
I don't want you to be true
I just wanna make love to you

I don't want you, be no slave
I don't want you, work all day
I don't want you to be true
I just wanna make love to you

I don't want you, keep a home
I don't want you, wash my clothes
I don't want you to be true
I just wanna make love
2. My brain is cloudy and my eyes are sore,
I told myself I wouldn't drink no more,
A bad hangover's something I can't stand,
But here I am with a jug in my hand.

Whoo - whoo, trouble, trouble,
Worries on my mind,
Goin' down to the cellar,
Get some of that mellow wine.

I seem to ruin everything I touch,
People say it's cause I drink too much,
I tried to kick it but it ain't no use,
Guess I'm a slave to that mellow juice.

Whoo - whoo, trouble, trouble,
Worries on my mind,
Goin' down to the cellar,
Get some of that mellow wine, yea.

Goin' down to the cellar,
Get some of that mellow wine.
Oh take it way


3. I'm leavin' again, long way to go
It's a sad feeling, we already know
Ticket's bought and the contract's signed
And it's too late to change my mind

I'm leavin' again, help me pack my case
I'll be a long time, in another place
I'm working for something, and it ain't no lie
It should've taken me, a lifetime to buy



I'm leavin' again, when the night has gone
So let's make love, while the time rolls on
And time rolls on, to another day
And this time tomorrow, I'll be so far away


4. When my picture's in a frame, in the Fool's Hall of Fame,
There'll be no one you can blame but me.
She was mean and so unkind, a two-faced woman with a one-track mind,
I was so blind I could not see.

I believed all her lies, and bad alibis,
Yes and everyone was wise, but me.
Now I see that I've been mislead, about everything she said,
Call me a fool and I'll agree.

5. Sarah Lee, can't you see,
Why I'm cryin' like a child.
You had your fun, but what you've done,
Has made me mad and drove me wild.

You used to be, good to me,
And now your always raising sand.
And it's so strange how you've changed,
And now I don't know where I stand.

Well I went down to the roadside,
When your wheels began to turn,
I called your name, but you just drove away, yea
Time's I wonder, will I ever learn?

Sarah Lee, look at me,
See those lines upon my face.
I'm so confused and I been abused,
I can hardly stand the pace.

The things you did and the truth you hid,
They caused me pain and misery.
And there's no doubt, 'cause I checked it out,
You've been double-crossing me.

Well I went down to the station,
I saw you step onto that train.
But someone else was close beside you,
Now I wonder will I see you again?



Sarah Lee, can't you see,
Why I'm cryin' like a child?
You had your fun, but what you done,
Made me mad and drove me wild.

But Sarah Lee, can't you see,
See those lines upon my face?
I'm so confused and I've been abused,
I can hardly stand the pace.
6. Ridin' on the freeway, where the lights are dim,
My chances of relaxin' are gettin' mighty slim,
I close my eyes and wonder how long it's gonna be,
I know I've got to travel, but the highway's killing me,

Looking out the window, not a thing to see,
Only my reflection staring back at me,
I close my eyes and wonder how long it's gonna be,
I know I've got to travel, but the highway's killing me,



I get so weary, how can I rest,
The road is rocky and I feel so depressed,
I close my eyes and wonder how long it's gonna be,
I know I've got to travel, but the highway's killing me,
Mmmm...mmmm....mmmm....mmmm



7. Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville
Cadillac rollin' on the open road
Nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95
Bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Whoa, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do

Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
Done got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn 'til I passed the lane
Rainwater blowin' all under my hood
I knew that I was doin' my motor good

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Whoa, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done started back doin' the things you used to do

The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard the highway sound
Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead
Hundred and ten, a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' in steel
And I called Maybellene at the top of the hill

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Whoa, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You done start back doing the things you used to do

8. Woke up this mornin' and I crawled out of bed,
I made a cup of coffee just to clear my head.
I felt all right 'til I looked on the floor,
There was a pile of bills stacked against the door.
I went in the kitchen and drank another cup,
I sat down at the table and added it up.
When I discovered how much I owe,
I said, ooh, ooh, it's time to go.

Mailman stay away from my door,
Got too many bills I don't need no more,
I don't know what I'm gonna do, but while I'm deciding,
To save my soul, I'm going to find me a hole to hide in,



Everyday it's the same old thing,
I know in advance what the man's gonna bring.
Registered letters from all over town,
Those final reminders are gettin' me down.
I once had money, but it's all been spent,
And now the landlord said he needs the rent.
Telephone company cuttin' off my phone,
Why don't they all just leave me alone?

Mailman keep away from my door,
Got too many bills I don't need no more.
I don't know what I'm gonna do, but while I'm deciding,
To save my soul, I'm going to find me a hole to hide in.

Mailman, stay away from my door.
Mailman stay away from my door.
Mailman stay away from my door.
Mailman yea, stay away from my door, whoo
9. I've made up my mind, and here's my decision,
I'd like to share with you, all of my secrets and my religion.
I want you to see, oh how sweet I could be.
Oh, I just got to get to know you, I just got to get to know you.

You've got what it takes, whoa there's no denyin',
I see in you a dream come true, Lord, you're life to the dying.
I want you to see, oh how sweet I could be.
Oh, I just got to get to know you, I just got to get to know you.

In my life there's an empty slot,
Oh now I believe you can fill that spot.

But I just got to get to know you, I just got to get to know you,

Blessed are the days I spent with you,
Realizin' precious moments we never knew.
Right now I'm just imagining this thing,
But would you believe the joy it brings.

I just got to get to know you, I just got to get to know you.

I'm gonna get you and hold you tight,
I want to hold you baby in the middle of the night,
Because I need, I need you baby,
I need, I need you by my side,
I need, I need, I need you to keep me satisfied,
Gonna hold you, I'm gonna to squeeze,
I'm going to love you,
I've made, I've made up my mind,
I said I've made, I've made up my mind,
You got it, you got what it takes,
You got, you got what it takes,
I see, I see in you a dream,
I see, a dream come true.
