She dances in these sheets at n ight
She dances to his ne eds
She dances 'til he f eels just r ight
Until he falls aslee p
She dances at the cr ack of dawn
And quickly cooks hi s food
She can't be late, c an't take t oo long
The kids must get to school
[Refrain : (x2)]
She's a slave to the rhythm
She's a slave to the rhythm of
She's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm of,
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
She dances for the m an at work
Who works her overti me
She can't be rude as she says,
"I must be home toni ght."
She dances to the ki tchen stove
Dinner is served by nine
He says his food's a n hour late
She must be outta he r mind
[Refrain :]
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 danc e no more
But then she did, he did not qu it as she ran out the door
She danced through t he night in fear of her life
She danced to a beat of her own
She let out a cry an d swallowed her pride
She knew she was nee ded back ho me, home
[Refrain :(x5)]
