All my friends had to ask me
Something they didn't understand
Well, how I get all the women
In the palm of my hand

I told them, treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady
She'll give in to you

Oh Lord, now you can see
You know what I mean

I know you love her like a woman
And she'll soon take advantage of you
So let me tell you, my friend
That there ain't no substitute

You ought to treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady
She'll give in to you

Lord, now you see
You know what I mean

Oh, you've got to love her, tease her
But most of all you've got to please her
You've got to hold her, want her
And make her feel that you always need her

You know a woman is sentimental
And so easy to upset
So make her feel that she's for real
And she'll give you happiness

Oh, strange as it seems
You know you can't treat a woman mean

And so my friend, there you have it
It's the easy simple way
And if you fail to do this
Don't blame her if she looks my way

I'm gonna treat her like a lady
So affectionately
I'm gonna treat her like a lady
She'll give in to me

Oh Lord, now you can see
You know what I mean

You've gotta treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady
And she'll give in to you

Treat her like a lady
(Treat her like a)
Do the best you can do
(Lady)

You gotta treat her like a lady
She'll give in to you
