Michael Jackson — Slave to the Rhythm Original Version

[Intro] Aaaaah! Hoh! Chop! Chop! Chop! Hoh! Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Hoh! Hoh! [Verse 1] She dances in his sheets at night 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 [Chorus] x2 But she's a slave to the rhythm But she's a slave to the rhythm of But she's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love [Verse 2] She dances for the man at work Who works her overtime 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 [Chorus] x2 But she's a slave to the rhythm But she's a slave to the rhythm of But she's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love [Bridge] She works so hard, just to make her way For the man who just don't appreciate And though he takes her love in vain Still she could not stop, couldn't break his chains [Verse 3] She danced the night that they fell out She swore she'd dance no more But dance she did, she dare'd 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 [Chorus] x3 [to fade] But she's a slave to the rhythm But she's a slave to the rhythm of But she's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
