"Why You Treat Me So Bad"

Oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oh, ohhh, oh, ohhhh.
Oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

Why you treat me so bad. (Ah, ahhh, ahhh, yeah.)
Why you treat me so bad. (Yeah.)
Why you treat me so bad. (So bad.)
Why you treat me so bad.
Why you treat me so bad, baby.

Oh girl, I loved you, but you turned and you walked away.
I would love you for tomorrow, though I know I do today.
You told me that you'd never hurt me.
Girl, you just tore my life apart.
Tell me, baby, why'd you do it?
Won't you bring me back my heart.
I tried to understand it, baby.
I searched my heart inside my mind.
I searched the depths of my heart and soul, baby.
There was nothing there to find.
You told me that you'd never leave me.
Girl, you went and you told a lie.
Tell me, baby, why'd you do it?
Why'd you make me wanna cry?

Why you treat me so bad.
I don't know why, baby.
Why you treat me so bad.
Why you do me the way you do.
Why you treat me so bad.
I don't know why, baby.
Why you treat me so bad.
Why you treat me so bad, baby.

Boy, let me tell you just how I really and truly feel.
You know that I have doubts and issues.
Now I'm gonna give you the deal.
You tell me that I always hurt you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Tried to hold you, tried to please you, but you always seemed to doubt.
You have told me that you didn't trust me and you didn't want me around.
You showed somebody else your interest.
Now you walk around with a frown.
I'm sorry to say I always hurt you, but you know you hurt me too.
I'm begging you, baby, I need you back,
'Cause I'm still in love with you.

Why you treat me so bad.
I don't know why, baby.
Why you treat me so bad.
Why you do me the way you do.
Why you treat me so bad.
I don't know why, baby.
Why you treat me so bad.
Why you treat me so bad, baby.

I sit here all alone thinking how our love could be,
But every time I call you up, you won't get on the phone with me.
I just don't know if I can take it.
Girl, you make me cop a plea.
You got me begging for your loving.
Can't you see it's killing me.
I just don't understand you, baby, after all I've done for you.
You know we've both been through some changes.
Now you say your love is true.
Boy, you know how much I love you, but I guess my heart has changed.
I'm sorry, baby, can't take you back.
I found myself another man.

Why you treat me so bad.
I don't know why, baby.
Why you treat me so bad.
Why you do me the way you do.
Why you treat me so bad.
I don't know why, baby.
Why you treat me so bad.
Why you treat me so bad, baby.

Oh, girl.
I don't know.
Why you treat me so bad.
You do what's right, yeah.
I tried to help myself as hard as I can.
Oh, oh, oh. Oooh, oooh, oooh.
I gave you everything.
Yeah.
So bad. Oh, oh.

Why you treat me so bad. (Yeah.)
I don't know why.
Why you treat me so bad. (Treat me bad.)
So bad.
Why you treat me so bad. (Oh.)
Why you treat me so bad.
