She dances in the sheets at nights
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 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 a slave to the rhythm of
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love


She dances for the man at work
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 outta 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 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
Still 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


She's a slave to the rhythm
She's a slave to the rhythm of

She's a slave to the rhythm
A a slave to the rhythm of
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love..
