If you treat someone right
You won't get hurt in the end
If you treat someone right
You won't get hurt in the end

So many times I've heard this before
So many times I've been down on the floor
If you treat someone right
You can get hurt in the end

If you love your best friend
One day he may say goodbye
And the tears may fall from your sad eyes
He may laugh while you cry

So many times I've seen it before
So many times I've been down on the floor
If you treat someone right
You can get hurt in the end

(So you see it takes a trying time)
Just to see if you've got a friend
Who'll stick with you till the end
(Then you'll know he'll stay while things are fine)

Yes but he'll soon leave you again
When you run out of money to lend
So if you treat someone right
You can get hurt in the end
So many times I've seen it before
So many times I've been down on the floor
If you treat someone right
You can get hurt in the end

When the time comes to cry
Will someone be there by your side
And when tears fall like rain from your eyes
Will someone be there to wipe 'em dry

Yes my friend I've seen it before
So many times I've been down on the floor
If you treat someone right
You can get hurt in the end

If you treat someone right
You can get hurt in the end
If you treat someone right

(You can get hurt) in the end
(You can get hurt in the end)
If you treat someone right
(You can get hurt in the end)

(Treat someone right) Come on and
(Treat someone right)
(Treat someone right)
(Treat someone right) You've got to
(Treat someone right) If you want to
(Treat someone right)
(Treat someone right) Treat
(Treat someone right)
(Treat someone right) You got to
(Treat someone right) If you want to
(Treat someone right) Yeah
(Treat someone right)
(Treat someone right)
(Treat someone right)
(Treat someone right)
