"Breakfast in Bed" is a soul–R&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.
