Slave - Carly Simon

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
