Bridge 1
(What's a matter baby)
A G#m
Ain't I hard enough, Ain't I rough enough
A C#m A B7
Ain't I rich enough, I'm not too blind too see

Verse 3:
I'll never be your beast of burden, let's go home and draw the curtain
Put some music on the radio, c'mon baby make some love to me

Verse 4:
My little sister is a pretty pretty girl
My little sister is a pretty pretty girl
She loves to ride, She loves to crawl
They love to take her out, Behind the garden wall
And when they're done, they just throw her away
And she don't have an awful lot too say
It hurts her so bad too come to the end
I remember all the dances they'd saying please
