David Coverdale - Shake My Tree lyrics

(coverdale/page)

Now I don't want to be your slave

You're trying to drive me to an early grave

All I ever hearis that you live an' breathe for me

Butall you ever dobabeis shake my tree

'cos you keep on pushingbaby

Like you neverever 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 mebabybut you don't know how

So you keep on pushingbaby

Like you neverever been in love before

I need love an' I need time

An' a little bit of bothif you wanna be a friend of mine

I don't want no womandrive me outta my head

An' you're the kind of girlguaranteed to wreck my bed

Love is what you need

Butyou cut down to the bone an' make me bleed

I give you everything an' still you cry

Oohmamathe price of loving you is way too high

Butyou keep on talkingbabyI've heard it all before

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

Butyou keep on pushingmama

Like you neverever 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 talkingbabykeep on hangin' around

Everything you do to meis sure to drag me down

An' you keep on pushingmama

Like you neverever 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 talkingno matter what you say

I've had enough of your kind of loveto last me all my days

So keep on pushing babyI've heard it all before

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

Now I don't want your lovingbabyI can't take it anymore

I don't want you hanging aroundkicking at my door

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

Butyou'll keep on pushingbaby

'cos you've neverever been in love before
