Barbara Mason - Bed and Board lyrics

You know, sometimes a man will Cause such heartache (yes, he will) That a woman feels she only take He'll make all kind of mistakes (Yes, he will) that cause your Heart to break Seems like every day Is like the one before The things you used to say You don't say anymore Bits and pieces of your time Are all you can afford It looks like you just can't see That there's much more to love Than bed and board (bed and board) Bed, bed, bed, bed and board (Bed and board) Lying half awake I hear you switch the light You turn off the late news Oh, I'm in luck tonight You think that making love Three times a week is my reward Well, you can't seem to understand That there's much more to love Than bed and board (bed and board) Ooh, baby, bed and board (Bed and board) oh, don't you know Don't know what happened But you've changed somehow And like a puppet On a string, baby, oh You're only going Through the motions now You touch me but you don't Feel anything, anything You're gonna say That it's all in my mind Lord knows how I've thought it out At least a thousand times I've got to try again I need my faith in life restored I can't wait any longer 'cause There's much more to love Than bed and board (bed and board) Baby, bed, bed, bed and board (Bed and board) so right there You oughta listen cause what else So much more to life Than just a bed and a roof Saying, I believe I believe that a man Will misuse a woman If he's given the chance And I believe That he will abuse a woman 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
