Shake My Tree (2008 Digital Remaster) - Coverdale Page

Now I don't want to be your slave

You're trying to drive me to an early grave

All I ever hear is that you live an' breathe for me

But all you ever do babe is shake my tree

'Cos you keep on pushing baby

Like you never ever been in love before

I told you once an' I told you twice

I ain't no schoolboy you can sacrifice

You want my love an' you want it now

You try to love me baby but you don't know how

So you keep on pushing baby

Like you never ever been in love before

I need love an' I need time

An' a little bit of both

If you wanna be a friend of mine

I don't want no woman drive me outta my head

An' you're the kind of girl guaranteed to wreck my bed

Love is what you need

But you cut down to the bone an' make me bleed

I give you everything an' still you cry

Ooh mama the price of loving you is way too high

But you keep on talking baby I've heard it all before

Now I don't want you hanging around or kicking at my door

But you keep on pushing mama

Like you never ever been in love before

I know love an' I know shame

An' I ain't gonna get caught up in your game

It took a little time to make me see

I ain't lookin' for a woman like you to shake my tree

So keep on talking baby keep on hangin' around

Everything you do to me is sure to drag me down

An' you keep on pushing mama

Like you never ever been in love before

Shake my tree

I don't want to be your slave

You're trying to drive me to an early grave

You keep on talking no matter what you say

I've had enough of your kind of love

To last me all my days

So keep on pushing baby I've heard it all before

I don't want you hanging around or kicking at my door

Now I don't want your loving baby I can't take it anymore

I don't want you hanging around kicking at my door

If I see your face again I'll give you what's in store

But you'll keep on pushing baby

'Cos you've never ever been in love before
