Beast of Burden
Unveiling the Yearning Soul: Beast of Burden by Urban Love and Anekka
Lyrics
I'll never be your beast of burden
I refuse to be your burden or someone you take advantage of
My back is broad but it's a hurting
While I may be strong, the burden is causing me pain
All I want is for you to make love to me
All I desire is for you to express love towards me
I'll never be your beast of burden
Reiteration of not wanting to be taken advantage of
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
I've endured hardships, and my feet are tired from walking
All I want is for you to make love to me
Reiteration of the desire for love
Am I hard enough
Questions about the adequacy of the speaker in various aspects, acknowledging awareness
Am I rough enough
-Am I rich enough
-I'm not too blind to see
-I'll never be your beast of burden
Repeated refusal to be a burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Suggesting intimacy at home by closing the curtains
Music on the radio
Setting a romantic scene with music and a plea for love
Come on baby make sweet love to me
-Am I hard enough
Repeating questions about adequacy with emphasis on awareness
Am I rough enough
-Am I rich enough
-I'm not too blind to see
-Oh little sister
Expressing admiration for a woman, pleading for attention
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
-You're a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
-Pretty, pretty
-Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
-Come on baby please, please, please
Continuation of the plea for attention and affection
I'll tell ya
Describing a willingness to endure difficulties and misery for the relationship
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
-Yeah, all your sickness
Expressing resilience and readiness to handle the partner's problems
I can suck it up
-Throw it all at me
-I can shrug it off
-There's one thing baby
Confusion about the partner's perception, feeling rejected
That I don't understand
-You keep on telling me
-I ain't your kind of man
-Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby
Reiterating questions about toughness and adequacy, pleading for love
Ain't I tough enough
-Ain't I rich enough, in love enough
-Ooh! Ooh! Please
-I'll never be your beast of burden
Final refusal to be a burden, emphasizing permanence
I'll never be your beast of burden
-Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
-I don't need no beast of burden
Stating independence and not needing the troubles associated with being a burden
I need no fussing
-I need no nursing
-Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be
