Slave To The Rhythm (Original Version)
Slave To The Rhythm (Original Version)

She dances in his sheets at night

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

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’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 overtime

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 out her mind

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’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

Yet 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

Cause 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’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
