You keep on pushing, babe

Like I've never known before

You know you drive me crazy, child

An' I just wanna see you on the floor

I wanna superstitious woman

An' she got a superstitious mind

I can't see you, baby

I can't see you anymore, no more

You keep on loving me

Like I've never known before

I wanna superstitious woman

With a superstitious, a superstitious mind

An' I don't mind, baby

My heart is beating faster, babe

It's beating like a big bass drum

You know you got me speeding, child

Faster than a bullet from a gun

You're a superstitious woman

An' I got a superstitious mind

An' I don't care

So take me down slow an' easy

Make love to me slow an' easy

I know that hard luck an' trouble

Is coming my way

So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

I don't care about, oh

I don't care about love, no more

The way you keep abusing me

Oh, I can't take no more

I wanna woman

She got a superstitious mind

So take me down slow an' easy

Make love to me slow an' easy

I know that hard luck an' trouble

Is coming my way

So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

Rock me 'til I'm burned
