Be My Husband Lyrics

(Nina Simone / Live at Sin-é, New York, December 31 1995)

Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife

Stick to the promise that you made me
You've gotta stick to the promise that you made me
Stay away from Johnny Lee

Oh daddy gotta love me good
Oh daddy gotta love me good
Oh daddy gotta love me good

If you want me to, i'll cook and sew
If you want me to, i'll cook and sew
If you want me to, i'll cook and sew

Don't you treat me so doggone mean
Please don't treat me so doggone mean
Cause you're the meanest man i've ever seen

Oh daddy love me good yeah
Oh daddy love me good yeah
Oh daddy now love me good
Oh daddy now love me good
