David Coverdale Shake My Tree Lyrics

Shake My Tree Lyrics

(Coverdale/Page)

Now I don`t want to be your slave,
You`re trying to drive me to an early grave
All I ever hear, is that you live an` breathe for me
But, all you ever do, babe, is shake my tree 

`Cos you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before. 

I told you once an` I told you twice,
I ain`t no schoolboy you can sacrifice
You want my love an` you want it now,
You try to love me, baby, but you don`t know how

So you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before

I need love an` I need time,
An` a little bit of both, if you wanna be a friend of mine
I don`t want no woman, drive me outta my head
An` you`re the kind of girl, guaranteed to wreck my bed

Love is what you need,
But, you cut down to the bone an` make me bleed
I give you everything an` still you cry
Ooh, mama, the price of loving you is way too high

But, you keep on talking, baby, I`ve heard it all before
Now I don`t want you hanging around, or kicking at my door 

But, you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before

I know love an` I know shame
An` I ain`t gonna get caught up in your game
It took a little time to make me see,
I ain`t lookin` for a woman like you to shake my tree

So keep on talking, baby, keep on hangin` around
Everything you do to me, is sure to drag me down

An` you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before

Shake my tree

I don`t want to be your slave,
You`re trying to drive me to an early grave
You keep on talking, no matter what you say
I`ve had enough of your kind of love, to last me all my days

So keep on pushing baby, I`ve heard it all before
I don`t want you hanging around, or kicking at my door 

Now I don`t want your loving, baby, I can`t take it anymore,
I don`t want you hanging around, kicking at my door
If I see your face again, I`ll give you what`s in store
But, you`ll keep on pushing, baby,
`Cos you`ve never, ever been in love before
