I Call That True Love Lyrics - Dr. Hook

(Shel Silverstein) 

Ever' mornin' won't you you wake up early cook me great big T-bone steak 

Serve it to me in bed go on the street and hustle bring me back all the money you make 

Won't you rub my body with sweet scented oil, cool me with a 'lectric fan 

Run to the church fall down on your knees say Lord I wanna thank you for that man 

And I'll call that true love, true and sweet 

That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin' 

But baby that's the kind of love I need 

I wanna come home every evenin' to a great big meal of wine and roasted pheasant 

I want you to say to me Ray, hey this is Susy, this is Kay, I brought 'em both home to you for a present 

When The Man downs his soul and find my stash, won't you tell 'em it belongs to you 

And when you're sittin' in the slam tell all the other chickies when they get out they should look me up too 

And I'll call that true love, true and sweet 

That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin' 

But baby that's the kind of love I need 

Some guy accuses me of foolin' with his wife threatens to take me apart 

Points a gun at me, I want you to jump in the middle and take the bullet in your own heart 

And as you're lyin' on the floor and dyin', I want you to look up at me and say 

Hey Ray I'm sorry I messed up your rug, just roll my body out of the way 

And I'll call that true love, true and sweet 

That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin' 

But baby that's the kind of love I need 

Hollywood calls you on the telephone I want you to turn down the part 

And when we're ballin' baby, ride on top so I never ever strain my heart 

And I'll call that true love, true and sweet 

That ain't the kind of love I'm gettin'......
