[Verse 1]
I don't need no beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

[Verse 2]
I don't need no beast of burden
Don't need the fussin', don't need the cursin'
All I want is for you to make love to me

[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see

[Verse 3]
I don't need no beast of burden
Don't need the fussin', don't need the cursin'
All I want is for you to make love to me

[Verse 4]
I don't need your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Oh c'mon baby, please
[Chorus]
Am I hard enough?
Am I rough enough?
Am I rich enough?
I'm not too blind to see
Oh yeah, pretty woman

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Bridge]
You're such a pretty, pretty, pretty, such a pretty girl
Pretty, pretty, pretty, such a pretty girl
Oh, oh
Come on baby please

[Verse 5]
You can put me out on the street
Put me out with no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

[Verse 6]
All your infection I can suck it up
Throw it all at me I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby that I don't understand
That keep on telling me I ain't your kind of man
[Chorus]
Ain't I rough enough?
Ain't I tough enough?
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough?
C'mon, baby, please

[Verse 7]
I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
Let me tell ya somethin', y'all
