Well her love was a habit, I tried to kick it
So I went downtown and bought a one-way ticket
And I rode that Greyhound down to Macon
Then I hitch-hiked back 'cause my heart was breakin'

[Chorus:]
Oh now I see, it's destiny
I can't be free, I'm her love slave
Janie Baker's love slave

When I'm close to her, my heart starts a thumpin'
When she says froggy, I can't help but jumpin'
She's got a hold on me, and there's no escapin'
Yeah, it's a ball and chain of my own makin'

[Chorus]

Yeah, I used to go bowlin', used to go fishin', used to go drinkin' too
But since I've been exposed to her kind of kissin'
There's nothing else I want to do

Well I'm her love slave
Janie Baker's love slave
