Lyric Slave

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)

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
I imitate your ways
I try to make you grace me
With a word of praiseHowever 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

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 yearning for you
Longing for you
