Chorus:

Be a slave for your man if you want him to stay

Do all that you can, agree and obey

'cus if you make a stand you will drive him away

Be a slave for your man if you want him to stay

When he no longer tries to be a great lover

You soon realise all he wants is a mother

As he buries himself in your maternal breast

Says 'to make it with you would be just like incest'.

Chorus:  Be a slave for your man etc.

Slavery's not bad if you've got a good master

But if he acts like your dad it could be a disaster

Then you'd have to behave like his daughter and mother

And when he's drunk again, like a fantasy lover.

Chorus:  Be a slave for your man etc.

And you mustn't compain, he gets angry and shows it

But if he's got a pain then everyone knows it

And just when you thought things couldn't get worse

You're his mother, his daughter and now you're his nurse.

Chorus:  Be a slave for your man etc.

And he talks of his mum and how much he missed her

She was just like a chum or a favourite sister

If you don't measure up, you've got no complaint

She was all that you're not and almost a saint.

Chorus:

Be a slave for your man if you want him to stay

Do all that you can, agree and obey

'cus if you make a stand you will drive him away

Be a slave for your man if you want him to stay.
