(S. Van Zandt)

|
I wonder where is my woman tonight
|
She ain¡¯t never around when I want her
|
Hey, Southside, have you seen my baby?
|
(No, man, I ain¡¯t seen her)
|
Well, I¡¯ve been hearin¡¯ some talk
|
You sure you haven¡¯t seen her?
|
(Uh, uh, well, here she comes now!)
|
Well, step out the way, I gotta do some talkin¡¯
|
|
Listen here, baby, to what I say
|
I break my back by working hard all day
|
And just when I need a little sympathy, you ain¡¯t home
|
|
You know now baby that I don¡¯t ask much
|
Just a little respect and a lovin¡¯ touch
|
If I support two people then why am I living alone?
|
|
Then I wonder
|
How come you treat me so bad?
|
You¡¯re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
|
How come you treat me so bad?
|
Tell me ¡®cause I¡¯ve got to know
|
I got to find out what¡¯s going on
|
|
All the women stop and they give me the eye
|
But the woman I love don¡¯t even wonder why
|
I ain¡¯t good lookin¡¯, but I don¡¯t mind spending my money
|
|
Another man might dress better uptown
|
But he¡¯s more than likely to be messing around
|
Now I ain¡¯t laughing, but something sure seems funny
|
Don¡¯t it?
|
|
How come you treat me so bad?
|
You¡¯re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
|
How come you treat me so bad?
|
Tell me ¡®cause I¡¯ve got to know
|
|
I ask for chicken and you give me beans
|
I ask for butter and you give me margarine
|
I ask you for the time and you tell me I am already too late
|
|
Someday girl you might change your mind
|
You realize what you left behind
|
I got news for you baby, I just might not wait, no more
|
|
How come you treat me so bad?
|
You¡¯re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
|
How come you treat me so bad?
|
I am tired of being lonely and I feel so sad
|
How come you treat me so bad?
|
You¡¯re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
|
How come you treat me so bad?
|
Tell me ¡®cause I¡¯ve got to know
|
|
That woman makes me so tired
|
How long can this go on?
|
She¡¯s just like her mother
|
(Yea, I know what you mean)
|
What you mean, you know what I mean?
|
(Well, don¡¯t get excited, Lee)
|
I¡¯m talkin¡¯ about my baby, who you talkin¡¯ about?
|
(Well, I was just, uh...)
|
Hey, where did you get that shirt?
|
(This is my shirt)
|
Did my baby give you my shirt?
|
(Wait a minute)
|
I paid $12 for that shirt
|
(This is my shirt, and you only paid 99 cents for it)
|
99 cents, huh? I believe you¡¯ve been steppin¡¯ out on me
|
(Oh, yea? Well I don¡¯t mind steppin¡¯ outside)
|
Alright we can step outside, but just watch the shirt
|
(You don¡¯t have to worry about the shirt
|
¡®Cause I¡¯m gonna hit you so hard when you wake up
|
your clothes are gonna be outta style)
