SHAKE MY TREE
|
(Coverdale/Page)
|
|
Now I don't want to be your slave,
|
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
|
All I ever hear, is that you live an' breathe for me
|
But, all you ever do, babe, is shake my tree
|
|
'Cos you keep on pushing, baby,
|
Like you never, ever been in love before.
|
|
I told you once an' I told you twice,
|
I ain't no schoolboy you can sacrifice
|
You want my love an' you want it now,
|
You try to love me, baby, but you don't know how
|
|
So you keep on pushing, baby,
|
Like you never, ever been in love before
|
|
I need love an' I need time,
|
An' a little bit of both, if you wanna be a friend of mine
|
I don't want no woman, drive me outta my head
|
An' you're the kind of girl, guaranteed to wreck my bed
|
|
Love is what you need,
|
But, you cut down to the bone an' make me bleed
|
I give you everything an' still you cry
|
Ooh, mama, the price of loving you is way too high
|
|
But, you keep on talking, baby, I've heard it all before
|
Now I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door
|
|
But, you keep on pushing, mama,
|
Like you never, ever been in love before
|
|
I know love an' I know shame
|
An' I ain't gonna get caught up in your game
|
It took a little time to make me see,
|
I ain't lookin' for a woman like you to shake my tree
|
|
So keep on talking, baby, keep on hangin' around
|
Everything you do to me, is sure to drag me down
|
|
An' you keep on pushing, mama,
|
Like you never, ever been in love before
|
|
Shake my tree
|
|
I don't want to be your slave,
|
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
|
You keep on talking, no matter what you say
|
I've had enough of your kind of love, to last me all my days
|
|
So keep on pushing baby, I've heard it all before
|
I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door
|
|
Now I don't want your loving, baby, I can't take it anymore,
|
I don't want you hanging around, kicking at my door
|
If I see your face again, I'll give you what's in store
|
But, you'll keep on pushing, baby,
|
'Cos you've never, ever been in love before
|
