Brick Grits

Now I know you love me
'Cos when you married me
You knew the little girl
Was still livin' inside of me

You knew that I couldn't cook
For I had never found the time
Didn't know too much about housework
And lord knows I could barely iron

Hey, hey, I may cook brick grits
But I know that you love me, you love me
You love me, you love me
I may cook brick grits but my baby loves me
Loves me, loves me, loves me

Now ever since I was a little bitty girl
All I Know'd was singin' on the road (Get down now)
Tryin' to take care of my momma
For she carried a heavy load
Sweet baby you stood by me
And helped me find my way
Taught me so many things I needed to know
That's why I ain't ashamed to say, yeah

I may cook brick grits
But I know that you love me, you love me
You love me, you love me
I may cook brick grits
But my baby loves me, loves me, loves me, loves me

Now, people say that the way to a mans heart
Is through his stomach
And though I think that's a big part
You can cook the best collard greens in the world
But it ain't gonna help If you don't love him girl
You'd better love him girl
You'd better love him, you'd better love him girl

Say cookin' is alright
But you'd better love your man tonight
Take my advice
You can cook rice
Oh, but a little lovin' is sho' nuff kinda nice
Yes, it is y'all

Ooh, I said my brick grits may not be a big hit
Oh, but I know baby loves me
Oh, I said I know my baby loves me

He said burn until you learn girl
Burn until you learn chile'
Stick around you'll soon get it together
Dip yo' finger in it make it taste a little better
And that's alright
Ooh, I think that's love y'all

You see now I ain't crazy
I know men don't like woman who are lazy, ha
So let me tell you what I do y'all
I just try my best, yes
Sometimes I guess, yes
And I just let my intuition do the rest, yes

My brick grits may not be a big hit
But I know he loves me, ooh-ooh
I know my baby loves me

I said, he loves me, he love me, he loves me
I said I know my baby loves me
I know my baby loves me
Oh yeah
