[Intro]
(Over and over again, ooh) whoa, I'm gonna tell you, baby
(Over and over again, ooh)
[Verse 1]
Again you did it, how could you treat me so mean?
I loved you with devotion, and gave you all I had to give
You promised to love me, but you ran away with my best friend
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, baby... you're too mean, darlin' (you treat me so mean, girl)
Why you do it, baby (you treat me so cruel, girl)
You know I love you, mama, I tried to treat you good (you treat me so mean, girl)
[Chorus]
(Over and over again, ooh)
Over and over, and over and over and over
(Over and over again, ooh)
Over and over and over and over
Oh baby, you keep doin' it to me
[Verse 2]
The more I give you, baby, the more you take away from me
Respect and honor, was yours with every breath you took
Your happiness was my concern, and I wasn't about to let you do without
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby...
You're everything I ever wanted (you treat me so mean, girl)
You are my sweet thing, sugar dumpling
Don't you leave mr, stay around (you treat me so cruel, girl)
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh... (you treat me so mean, girl)
[Chorus]
(Over and over again, ooh)
Over and over and over, I told you that I'm without...
(Over and over again, ooh)
(Over and over again, ooh) over, over... I wanna tell
[Bridge]
Over and over, I try to make you understand
Just because I love you, don't take advantage of me, no
Every man has a breaking point (and baby)
Baby, you've reached mine
[Outro]
Oh, baby... (you treat me so mean, girl)
You treat me mean, girl
(You treat me so cruel, girl)
I've been losing you, girl
(You treat me so mean, girl)
Walk on me, no no, why you're doin' it, baby
(You treat me so cruel, girl)
I've been watchin', baby
See that you've been walkin' right on me
(You treat me so mean, girl)
I gave you my money, honey
And I did for you everything you wanted
(You treat me so cruel, girl)
I just can't take no more, you treat me so wrong...
