Barbara Mason - Bed And Board lyrics

rate me

You know, sometimes a man will

Cause such heartache (yes, he will)

That a woman feels she only take

He'll make all kind of mistakes

(Yes, he will) that cause your

Heart to break

Seems like every day

Is like the one before

The things you used to say

You don't say anymore

Bits and pieces of your time

Are all you can afford

It looks like you just can't see

That there's much more to love

Than bed and board (bed and board)

Bed, bed, bed, bed and board

(Bed and board)

Lying half awake

I hear you switch the light

You turn off the late news

Oh, I'm in luck tonight

You think that making love

Three times a week is my reward

Well, you can't seem to understand

That there's much more to love

Than bed and board (bed and board)

Ooh, baby, bed and board

(Bed and board) oh, don't you know

Don't know what happened

But you've changed somehow

And like a puppet

On a string, baby, oh

You're only going

Through the motions now

You touch me but you don't

Feel anything, anything

You're gonna say

That it's all in my mind

Lord knows how I've thought it out

At least a thousand times

I've got to try again

I need my faith in life restored

I can't wait any longer 'cause

There's much more to love

Than bed and board (bed and board)

Baby, bed, bed, bed and board

(Bed and board) so right there

You oughta listen cause what else

So much more to life

Than just a bed and a roof

Saying, I believe

I believe that a man

Will misuse a woman

If he's given the chance

And I believe

That he will abuse a woman

At the beginning of a romance

'Cause all they ever want is bed (bed)

Your bed (bed) my bed (bed) his bed

It don't make any difference where it is

See, but I don't find anything wrong

With making a little love

On an early Sunday morning

You oughta be in church (amen)

Ain't nothing wrong (amen)

With a little love on an early

Monday morning, Monday morning

(Monday morning)

When your baby's supposed

To be going to work

He can't leave you, no, no, no

He can't leave your side

And here's why

Because a man needs love

And a man needs to be hugged

And kissed, yes, he does

You know it's something when

We ladies start to prepare

Ourselves for that particular man

Waiting for him to come home

So he can just hold our hand

You know, I believe that all of

That all you do something like this

You might run the water

Putting all of those nice things

Into that tub

And when we're finished

We have all kinds of sweet

Smelling things that we put on

Perfumes and some of us decide to

Just powder ourselves all the way down

That's good because that's what they like

And when he comes through the door

And you're lying there in your negligee

Or whatever it might be

And he says to you

I'm too tired, I'm too tired

And you turn to him and say

Do you think I did all this for me

You can still hear that same moan from him

I'm too tired, I've been working all day

But you don't wanna hear that, do you

You see, because the art of making love

Has to be done in a certain way

And it can only been done when

Two people become totally involved

But sometimes a man

Just out of forgetfulness

Will not remember a woman's birthday

And it's not intentional

It's just because it's the way they're made

And they'll forget to call you

Exactly on the hour because

They forget that little things

Mean a lot

'Cause there's so much more to life

Than bed and board<br />
