Slave Lyrics by Carly Simon
Album : Playing Possum
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Listening for your footsteps
Just waiting like a fool
Burning with a fever only you can cool
The clock beside my pillow
Has ticked away the night
Like a heartbeat mocking me
Until the light

Gotta stop these thoughts about you
Gotta learn to live without you
Gotta find some freedom for this weary slave
'Cause I'm hungry for you
And I'm longing for you
And I'm burning for you

I worship your opinions
And I imitate your ways
I try to make you grace me
With a word of praise
However much I tell myself
That I'm strong and free and brave
I'm just another woman
Raised to be a slave

Slave, nothing but a slave
Mind of a slave
Body of a slave

[Repeat Chorus]

I find I gave away the soul
That I wanted you to save
I'm just another woman
Raised to be a slave

Hungry for you
And longing for you
Burning for you
And I'm longing for you
Burning for you
And I'm longing for you
Longing for you
Listening for your footsteps   Just waiting like a fool   Burning with a fever only you can cool   The clock beside my pillow   Has ticked away the night   Like a heartbeat mocking me   Until the light      Gotta stop these thoughts about you   Gotta learn to live without you   Gotta find some freedom for this weary slave   'Cause I'm hungry for you   And I'm longing for you   And I'm burning for you      I worship your opinions   And I imitate your ways   I try to make you grace me   With a word of praise   However much I tell myself   That I'm strong and free and brave   I'm just another woman   Raised to be a slave      Slave, nothing but a slave   Mind of a slave   Body of a slave      [Repeat Chorus]      I find I gave away the soul   That I wanted you to save   I'm just another woman   Raised to be a slave      Hungry for you   And longing for you   Burning for you   And I'm longing for you   Burning for you   And I'm longing for you   Longing for you
