No, I'm not good looking
And I don't do nothing
And I don't say nothing
And I don't mean nothing
Practically good for nothing
But loving you, but loving you

Please baby, let me be your slave
Please let me clean your house all day
Please let me try to bake your bread
And tuck your sweet babies into their beds

I'll show you how nice a woman can be
I'll show you how nice a woman can be
I'll show you how nice a woman can be
If you'll only speak some sweet words about me

I might even cook something actually edible
Who knows, it might even turn out to be incredible

Please baby, let me be your slave
Please let me clean your house all day
Please let me try to bake your bread
And tuck your sweet babies into their beds

I'll show you how nice a woman can be
I'll show you how nice a woman can be
I'll show you how nice a woman can be
If you'll only speak some sweet words about me
Speak some sweet words about me

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
