She dances in the sheets at nights
|
She dances to his needs
|
She dances 'til he feels just right
|
Until he falls asleep
|
|
She dances at the crack of dawn
|
And quickly cooks his food
|
She can't be late, can't take too long
|
The kids must get to school
|
|
[Chorus (2x):]
|
She's a slave to the rhythm
|
She's a slave to the rhythm of
|
She's a slave to the rhythm
|
A slave to the rhythm of
|
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
|
|
She dances for the man at work
|
Who works her all the time
|
She can't be rude as she says "Sir,
|
I must be home tonight"
|
|
She dances to the kitchen stove
|
Dinner is served by nine
|
He says his food's an hour late
|
She must be outta her mind
|
|
[Chorus (2x):]
|
She's a slave to the rhythm
|
She's a slave to the rhythm of
|
She's a slave to the rhythm
|
A slave to the rhythm of
|
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
|
|
She works so hard, just to make her way
|
For a man who just don't appreciate
|
And though he takes her love in vain
|
Still she could not stop, couldn't break his chains
|
|
She danced the night that they fell out
|
She swore she'd dance no more
|
But dance she did, he did not quit
|
As she ran out the door
|
|
She danced through the night in fear of her life
|
She danced to a beat of her own
|
She let out a cry and swallowed her pride
|
She knew she was needed back home, home
|
|
[Chorus (til end):]
|
She's a slave to the rhythm
|
She's a slave to the rhythm of
|
She's a slave to the rhythm
|
A slave to the rhythm of
|
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
|
