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 crack of dawn And quickly cooks his food She can't be late, can't take too long The kids must get to school
She's a slave to the rhythm She's a slave to the rhythm of She's a slave to the rhythm To the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm
She works so hard, just to make her way For a man who just don't appreciate And though he takes her love 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, he did not quit As 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
'Cause 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 Love, love, love
