I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles, my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me; what's the matter with me babe?

Ain't I hard enough Ain't I rough enough Ain't I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Verse

My little sister is a pretty pretty girl
My little sister is a pretty pretty girl
She loves to ride, she loves to crawl 
they love to take her out behind the garden wall
and when they're done they just throw her away
and she don't have an awful lot to say
It hurts her so bad it comes to the end
I remember all about Ya baby, please 

Chorus

Ain't I hard enough Ain't I rough enough Ain't I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see...no, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Outro

Ain't I hard enough ooh yeah;
Ain't I rough enough ooh yeah
D A/C# Bm G (D)
Ain't I rich enough, rich enough, rich enough too blind to see
Too blind, too blind oh
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles, honey, my feet are hurting
And all I want is for you to make love to me; what's the matter with me? (fade)
