Beast of Burden (Live 2003) Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll walk for miles, my feet are hurtin'
And all I want is for you to make love to me

[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see
Oh little sister

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, such a pretty girl
Pretty, pretty, pretty, such a pretty
Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
Come on baby please, please, please

[Verse 4]
I'll tell you 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

[Verse 5]
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
That keep on telling me I ain't your kind of man

[Verse 6]
Ain't I rough enough, oh honey
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough in love enough
Now c'mon, baby, please
[Outro]
I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

[Audience Applause]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
