Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do,
|
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?
|
There's just as many geese and they're flyin' down South
|
As there are lies just pouring out of your mouth.
|
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?
|
You say that you're young, girl, I guess that's your big excuse
|
But sometimes I get so low down I wanna shout out, What's the use ?!
|
When you've been a lovin' someone else you don't try to hide
|
You take me for a fool then you take me for a ride.
|
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?
|
Ah, you seen my face, gal, with the tears all down my mouth.
|
You came up, you held my hand, gal, you don't know what it's all about.
|
I seen you goin' out, there was nothin' I could say,
|
I hung around your house till the very break of day,
|
Then you came a-laughing down the bright highway.
|
Now, why do you treat me like you do ?
|
My mornings, they're all empty now, my evenings, they're just the same,
|
Now maybe I been thinkin' wrong about you, gal, and you ain't really the one to
|
blame.
|
Keep on lovin' someone else, now don't you try to hide,
|
You can take me for a fool if it keeps you satisfied,
|
'Cause I ain't gonna be the one to ask the reason
|
Why do you treat me like you do.
