Ain’t No Way to Treat a Lady
I guess it was yourself you were involved with
I would've sworn it was me
I might've found out sooner
If you'd only let me close enough to see
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way to treat your baby
Your woman, your friend. That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way, but maybe it's a way for us to end
I was only bein' a picture
With all the colors, I know
While you were busy lookin' into
Wide blue mirrors and lovin' the show
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way to treat your baby
Your woman, your friend. That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way, but maybe it's a way for us to end
There's a funny kind of consolation keeping me sane
And I'd really like to share it, crawl on deep in my brain;
And see the times you never felt me lovin' you or needin' you
So leavin' you now, you still won't know how to feel the pain
I was lookin' out for my happiness
While you were lookin' within
And before you knew your own reflection
Always starts to tire you, it's happened again
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way to treat your baby
Your woman, your friend. That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way, but maybe it's a way for us to end
