Do you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?Do you love me?
There's a man in the theatre with girlish eyesWho's holding my childhood to ransomOn the screen there's a death,there's a rustle of clothAnd a sickly voice calling me handsomeThere's a man in the theatre with sly girlish eyesOn the screen there's an ape, a gorillaThere's a groan, there's a cough, there's a rustle of clothAnd a voice that stinks of death and vanillaThis is a secret, mauled and mangledAnd the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle
The walls in the ceiling are painted in bloodThe lights go down, the red curtains come apartThe room is full of smoke and dialogue I know by heartAnd the coins in my pocket jingle-jangleAs the great screen crackled and poppedAnd the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stoppedAnd my handsome little body oddly proppedAnd my trousers ride down to my anklesYes, onward! And upward!And I'm off to find loveDo you love me? If you do, I'm thankful

I was born on a levyA little bit south of MontgomeryMama worked in the big houseAnd daddy he worked for the CountyI never had no learnin'Until I turned 16When Joe Henry come up the river, yonderLord, made a woman out of meLord, he made a woman outta me
I used to tease Joe Henry Guess it served me rightWasn't long till he left me Crying out in the nightJoe Henry had his sayHe wouldn't set me freeI fear to tell everybodyThat the man made a woman outta meLord, he made a woman outta me
When I think back to that daySo long agoI get a little feelin' on my mindAlthough it hurt meThere's one thing I knowWhen he left, he left him a woman behind
When I meet another young manWantin' to love and runMy mind goes back to Joe Henry JamesAnd a heck of a job he doneAin't no other man let me downYou see I been set freeEver since way back yonderWhen Joe made a woman outta me

She has got my family nameEverything is just the sameAnd it's near and it's hereAnd blood runs through the centre of my body
Now she sleeps, doesn't dream of sheepBut between all creeps, she's the queenNow she sleeps, doesn't dream of sheepBut between all creeps, she's the queenMy little baby
Now only dolls will see thisAnd there won't be no soundShow no fear, no tiny tear, and I love herWe could have been great - so great
