Home Cookin'

I need home, home cookin', yeah
I need home, home cookin', yeah

He said, "A woman's place is in the kitchen"
But in the kitchen, you are a flop
Then meals that you've been fixin'
They ain't nothin' but yesterday's slop

And I like, your wiggly walk
I like your baby talk, yeah!
You're neat, the way you look
But you ain't nothin' if you can't cook

I need home, home cookin', yeah
I need home, home cookin', yeah

Hot! I sweat all day
I rush back home, to see what you're cookin'
Your beans are burned, you've ruined my place
And in the mirror, I find you lookin'

Now, I like sweet candied yams
And I like homemade ham
Instead of study, how you look
You oughta study your mama's cookbook

If you want a soul man
Get to rattlin', them pots and pans

I need home, home cookin'
I need home, home cookin', yeah!

Hot gravy
That pot roast
That pickled beet
And sugared toast

I like your wiggly walk, yeah!
And I like your way a-talkin'
And you look neat, the way you look
But you ain't nothin' if you can't cook

I need home, home cookin'
I'm in the mood for soul food
I said, home, home cookin'
