|
I need home, home cookin', yeah! |
|
I need home, home cookin', yeah! |
|
It's said, a woman's place |
|
Is in the kitchen |
|
But in the kitchen, you are a flop |
|
Them meals that you been fixin' |
|
They ain't nothin' but yesterday's slop |
|
An I like, yo' wiggly walk |
|
I like yo' baby talk, yeah! |
|
You're neat, the way you look |
|
But you ain't nothin' |
|
If you can't cook |
|
I need home, home cookin', yeah! |
|
I need home, home cookin', yeah! |
|
Hot! I sweat all day |
|
I rush back home, to see what you cookin' |
|
Your beans are burned |
|
You've ruined my place |
|
And in the mirror, I find you lookin' |
|
Now, I like sweet candied yams |
|
And I like homemade ham-hocks |
|
Instead of study, how you look |
|
You oughta study |
|
Yo' mama's cookbook |
|
(sax & instrumental) |
|
If you want a soul man |
|
Get to rattlin', them pots and pans |
|
I need home, home cookin' |
|
I need home, home cookin' |
|
Yeah! |
|
Hot gravy |
|
That pot roast |
|
That pickled beets |
|
And sugared toast |
|
I like yo' wiggly walk, yeah! |
|
An I like yo' way a-talkin' |
|
And you look neat, the way you look |
|
But you ain't nothin' |
|
If you can't cook |
|
I need home, home cookin' |
|
I'm in the mood |
|
For soul food |
|
I said, home, home cookin'. |
