"'Breakfast in Bed'" is a soulR&B song written by Muscle Shoals songwriters Eddie Hinton and Donnie Fritts for Dusty Springfield. It takes a knowing spin on the line "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", the title of a song that had previously been a number one hit for her in the UK. After being released on her 1969 album 'Dusty in Memphis', it was recorded and popularized the same year by Baby Washington.

Harry J produced three reggae versions in 1972: Lorna Bennett; Scotty; Bongo Herman (see list below).

Springfield's version was featured in the 2014 movie 'Godzilla'.
