Home Cookin' Lyrics - Singles - Junior Walker And The All Stars

I need home, home cookin', yeah 

I need home, home cookin', yeah 

It's said, a woman's place is in the kitchen 

But in the kitchen you are a flop 

Them meals that you been fixin' 

They ain't nothin' but yesterday's slop 

An I like yo' wiggly walk 

I like yo', 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 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-hocks 

Instead of study, how you look 

You oughta study yo' 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 beets and sugared toast 

I like yo' wiggly walk, yeah 

An I like yo' 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'
