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
Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I’m not too blind to see
I’ll never be your beast of burden
So let’s go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me
Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I’m not too blind to see
Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
You’re a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please
I’ll tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery
Yeah, all your sickness
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
There’s one thing baby
That I don’t understand
You keep on telling me
I ain’t your kind of man
Ain’t I rough enough, ooh baby
Ain’t I tough enough
Ain’t I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh! Ooh! Please
I’ll never be your beast of burden
I’ll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
I don’t need no beast of burden
I need no fussing
I need no nursing
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

Mr. Nothing’s got a lot
He’s got a lot to say
He’s good at being what he’s not
Gives nothing away
Another day goes on by
And he never speaks his heart
He takes his chance with what he’s got
It’s too late now to stop
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It’s tying you up while you’re fadin’
You give and you take and take what you got
Round and round ’till it breaks and
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It’s tying you up while you’re fadin’ into your lie
Mr. Nothing is late
He’s running out of time
He questions whether chance or fate will ever show a sign
Looks to the sky above
For a glimpse of what it means
And never never never make
Make no sense to him
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It’s tying you up while you’re fadin’
You give and you take and take what you got
Round and round ’till it breaks and
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It’s tying you up while you’re fadin’ into your lie
You push and you pull it

Any good lyrics/songs, post them here if you want.
There was a little boy once upon a time
Who in spite of his young age and small size knew his mind
For every copper penny and clover he would find
Make a wish for better days, the end of hard times
For no more cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet
His clothes were always clean
His face was always scrubbed
There was food on the table, enough to fill him up
His house was full of life, his house was full of love
But when winter days arrived there was never
Money enough to shod his cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet
He grew up to be a worker determined to succeed
He made a life for himself
Free from worldly wants or needs
But with nobody to share the life he’d made
No body to keep him warm at night
When he’d go to sleep – he’d sleep alone
With his cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet
One night he walked the streets
Looking to the heavens above
Searching for a shooting star, a benevolent God
When a woman passing by brushed his arm
He turned and found love
He then wished for the courage to ask this stranger who she was
To not have cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet
One year later he stood beside her
He vowed “I’ll give you everything you want”
She said “I’ll take some love from my heart to keep your body warm”
“You won’t have cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet”
He thought she’d like the party life
And want the finer things
So he promised more than he could buy
And he’d promise her the sun and moon
To not have cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet
He worked day and night his fingers to the bone
His worried mind guilty conscience drive him on
He can give her what she needs
He wants to give her what he thinks she wants
Her sad-eyed face
His empty pockets drive him on
And his cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet
He’d struggled all his life to be an honest man
Proud that the dirt on his palms was the soil of the land
But some guys he knew from high school
Said they had a plan to get rich quick
And they could count him in
If he don’t have cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet
He thought about their offer
Accepted it without qualms
Dreamt about the life he’d buy
The comfort that would come
Without cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet
He decided to drive the car
He decided to carry the gun
To take the biggest risk of all
To prove his loyalty to his friends
He decided to tell his wife
Things would soon turn around
He said “the little boy is dead, a man stands with you now
Without cold feet – cold, cold, cold, cold feet”
He thought he’d set his clock right
He thought he’d read his watch
He left in such a hurry
He didn’t think to wish for luck
Makes no difference if you’re early
No difference if you’re late
When you’re out of time
The flowers have been laid
You’re six feet underground
With cold feet – cold,cold cold, cold feet
Tracy Chapman – Cold Feet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbJ3kfTS_Qg
All you folks think you own my life, you never made any sacrifice,
demons are on my trail, I’m standing at the crossroads of Hell,
I look to the left, I look to the right,
hands that grab me on the every side.
All you folks think I got my price, at which I’ll sell all that is mine,
think money rules and all else fails? Go sell your soul and keep your shell,
I’m trying to protect what I keep inside, all the reasons why I live my life.
Some say the devil be a mystical fact, I say the devil he a walking by,
He a fool, he a liar, conjurer and a thief,
try to tell you what you want, try to tell you what you need.
Standing at the point, road acrost your doubt,
what is at your back? Which way do you turn?
Who will come to find you first, devils or your gods?
All you folks think you run my life, say I should be willing to compromise,
I say all you demons go back to hell,
I’ll save my soul, save myself.
