Bed And Board (2001 Remaster)

At the beginning of a romance

'Cause all they ever want is bed (bed)

Your bed (bed) my bed (bed) his bed

It don't make any difference where it is

See, but I don't find anything wrong

With making a little love

On an early Sunday morning

You oughta be in church (amen)

Ain't nothing wrong (amen)

With a little love on an early

Monday morning, Monday morning

(Monday morning)

When your baby's supposed

To be going to work

He can't leave you, no, no, no

He can't leave your side

And here's why

Because a man needs love

And a man needs to be hugged

And kissed, yes, he does

You know it's something when

We ladies start to prepare

Ourselves for that particular man

Waiting for him to come home

So he can just hold our hand

You know, I believe that all of

That all you do something like this

You might run the water

Putting all of those nice things

Into that tub

And when we're finished

We have all kinds of sweet

Smelling things that we put on

Perfumes and some of us decide to

Just powder ourselves all the way down

That's good because that's what they like

And when he comes through the door

And you're lying there in your negligee

Or whatever it might be

And he says to you

I'm too tired, I'm too tired

And you turn to him and say

Do you think I did all this for me

You can still hear that same moan from him

I'm too tired, I've been working all day

But you don't wanna hear that, do you

You see, because the art of making love

Has to be done in a certain way

And it can only been done when

Two people become totally involved

But sometimes a man

Just out of forgetfulness

Will not remember a woman's birthday

And it's not intentional

It's just because it's the way they're made

And they'll forget to call you

Exactly on the hour because

They forget that little things

Mean a lot

'Cause there's so much more to life

Than bed and board
