Coverdale Page - Shake My Tree lyrics

rate me

Now I don't want to be your slave<br />

You're trying to drive me to an early grave<br />

All I ever hear, is that you live an' breathe for me<br />

But all you ever do, babe, is shake my tree<br />

'Cos you keep on pushing, baby, like you never, ever been in love before<br />

I told you once an' I told you twice<br />

I ain't no schoolboy you can sacrifice<br />

You want my love an' you want it now<br />

You try to love me, baby, but you don't know how<br />

So you keep on pushing, baby, like you never, ever been in love before<br />

I need love an' I need time<br />

An' a little bit of both, if you wanna be a friend of mine<br />

I don't want no woman, drive me outta my head<br />

An' you're the kind of girl, guaranteed to wreck my bed<br />

Love is what you need, but you cut down to the bone an' make me bleed<br />

I give you everything an' still you cry<br />

Ooh, mama, the price of loving you is way too high<br />

But you keep on talking, baby, I've heard it all before<br />

Now I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door<br />

But you keep on pushing, mama, like you never, ever been in love before<br />

I know love an' I know shame<br />

An' I ain't gonna get caught up in your game<br />

It took a little time to make me see<br />

I ain't lookin' for a woman like you to shake my tree<br />

So keep on talking, baby, keep on hangin' around<br />

Everything you do to me, is sure to drag me down<br />

An' you keep on pushing, mama, like you never, ever been in love before<br />

Shake my tree<br />

(Solo)<br />

I don't want to be your slave, you're trying to drive me to an early grave<br />

So keep on talking, no matter what you say<br />

I've had enough of your kind of love, to last me all my days<br />

So keep on pushing baby, I've heard it all before<br />

I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door<br />

Now I don't want your loving, baby, I can't take it anymore<br />

I don't want you hanging around, kicking at my door<br />

If I see your face again, I'll give you what's in store<br />

But you'll keep on pushing, baby, 'cos you've never, ever been in love before<br />
