[Verse 1]

She dances in the sheets at night

She dances to his needs

She dances 'til he feels just right

Until he falls asleep...



She dances at the break of dawn

And quickly cooks his food

She can't be late, can't take too long

The kids must get to school



[Chorus]

She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

She's a slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

A rhythm of love, a rhythm of love

She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

She's a slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

A rhythm of love, a rhythm of love



She dances for the man at work

Who works her all the time

She can't be rude as she says so

"I must be home tonight"



She dances to the kitchen stove

Dinner is served by nine

She sets his food an hour late

She must be out of her mind...



She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love



She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love



She works so hard, just to make her way

For a man who just don't appreciate



And don't know it takes

And was all in vain.

Still she could not stop,

Couldn't break his chains



She danced the night

That they fell out

She swore she'd dance no more

But then she did, she did not quit

And she ran out the door



She danced through the night

In fear of her life

She danced to a beat of her own



She let out a cry and

Swallowed her pride

She knew she was needed

Back home, home



She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

A slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

The rhythm of love

The rhythm of love



She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

A slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

The rhythm of love

The rhythm of love



She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

A slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

The rhythm of love

The rhythm of love



She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

A slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

The rhythm of love

The rhythm of love



She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm of

A slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

The rhythm of love

The rhythm of love
