(Jimmy Webb)
|
Can't you see he doesn't care
|
He likes to play with you that's all
|
He's waiting on someone else's call
|
He's playing it cool
|
Why's it so hard to reach you?
|
|
Why are you still out there
|
Beating your heart against the wall
|
Waiting for Jericho to fall
|
You hard-headed fool
|
Didn't your mama teach you
|
Anything at all
|
|
You can't treat the wrong man right
|
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
|
He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite
|
You can't treat the wrong man right
|
You can't treat the right man wrong
|
When you're out on the town
|
Acting mean and head-strong
|
He'll sit home and wait for you all night long
|
You can't treat the right man wrong
|
|
I heard it on the telephone
|
A woman was whispering in my ear
|
And though I was trying not to hear
|
The message came through
|
She was someone who knew you
|
I guess she told me everything
|
I wasn't listening anyway
|
I know she had a lot to say
|
But nothing was clear
|
I only remember her voice
|
Above the sound of the pinball
|
Saying to me
|
|
You can't treat the wrong man right
|
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
|
He'll steal all your love and and fly by night
|
You can't treat the wrong man right
|
You can't treat the right man wrong
|
You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong
|
And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight
|
You can't treat the right man wrong
|
You can't treat the wrong man right
|

You Can't Treat The Wrong Man Right
