She dances in these sheets at night
She dances to his needs

She dances till he feels just right
Until he falls asleep

She dances at the break 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, oh

She's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm, oh
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm, oh

She's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm, oh
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
She dances for the man at work
Who works her all the time

She can't be rude as she says
"I must be home tonight"

She dances to the kitchen stove
Dinner is served by 9

She sets his food an hour late

She must be out of  mind

She's a slave to the rhythm
She's a slave to the rhythm, oh
She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm
She's a slave to the rhythm

The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
She's a slave to the rhythm
a slave to the rhythm, oh
She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm
a slave to the rhythem
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
She works so hard just to make her way
For a man who just won't appreciate

And though he takes all 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, she did not quit
And 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
She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm, oh

She's a slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm, oh
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm, oh

She's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm, oh

She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm, oh

She's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm, oh

The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
She's a slave to the rhythm

She's a slave to the rhythm, oh

She's a slave to the rhythm
A slave to the rhythm, oh
The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love

she's a  slave to the rhythem

She's a slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm,
A slave to the rhythm,

The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
