[Chorus]
How can you mistreat the one you love?
You know that I lean upon ya (Oh yeah)
Couldn't leave you if I wanna

How can you mistreat the one you love?
I've claimed my love before (Oh yeah)
You know what's mine is yours

[Verse 1]
You tap out on me
Then you run back to me
Tellin' me there's nobody else
You used to open the door for me
Now you leave it to me
Can't you see you wanna make me happy
Yeah-eah-eah yeah

[Chorus]
How can you mistreat the one you love?
You know that I lean upon ya (Oh yeah)
Couldn't leave you if I wanna

How can you mistreat the one you love?
I've claimed my love before (Oh yeah)
You know what's mine is yours
[Verse 2]
Take me for granted
Tell me I understand it
When you're too tired
For a little love
Who's gettin' what you got?
I know you've got a lot
And I need some satisfaction
Yeah-eah-eah yeah

[Chorus]
How can you mistreat the one you love?
You know that I lean upon ya (Oh yeah)
Couldn't leave you if I wanna

[Verse 3]
Men don't run out of love
You were born with enough
So why aren't you givin' any more to me?
That page you overlooked
In your little love book
Read up on how to make a woman happy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus]
How can you mistreat the one you love?
You know that I lean upon ya (Oh yeah)
Couldn't leave you if I wanna
How can you mistreat the one you love?
I've claimed my love before (Oh yeah)
You know what's mine is yours

[Outro]
How can you (mistreat the one you love?)
Baby how can you (mistreat the one you love?)
Darling how can you (mistreat the one you love?)
Oh how can you (mistreat the one...)
