You know I want you to
Wash my clothes
I got to have you to

Keep and hold
Yes, I want yo' money, too
If I'm gonna give my youth to you

Youth to you

You know I want you to

Cook my bread
I got to have you to
Make my bed

Yes, I'll tell you what you do
If I'm gonna give my youth to you
Youth to you


Can tell by the way that I
Walk that walk

And you can see by the way
That I talk that talk
And you can know by the way

I hold a-out my hand
I think you should give me, ev'rything


I got to have you to treat me right
I really need you day and night
Yes, I want you to be true

If I'm gonna give my youth to you
Youth to you


[piano & instrumental]

A-you can tell by the way that I

Walk that walk
And you can see by the way
That I talk that talk

And then you know by the way
I hold out my hand
I think you should give me, ev'rything


I got to have you to
Cook my bread

I really need you to
Make my bed
Yes, I want yo' money, too

If I'm gonna give my youth to you
Youth to you


Youth to you

[FADES:]


Youth to you
Youth to you

Youth to you.
