Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad

Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad


Oh, girl, i loved you but you
Turned and you walked away
I would love you more tomorrow

Than 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 depth
Of my whole soul, baby
There was nothing there to find


You told me that you'd never leave me
Girl, you just went and told a lie

Tell me, baby, why'd you do it
Why'd you make me wanna cry


[chorus]
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


Boy, just let me tell you
How i really and truly feel

I know that i have doubts and issues
But now i'm gonna tell you the deal


You tell me that i always hurt you
I don't know what you're talking 'bout
Tried to love you, tried to hold you

But you always seemed to doubt

You've told me that you didn't trust me

And you didn't want me around
Show somebody else your interest
Now you walk around with a frown


Sorry that you say i hurt you
But you know you hurt me too

I'm begging you, baby, i need you back
Because i'm still in love with you


[repeat chorus]

I sit here all alone just thinking

How our love could be
But everytime i call you up
You won't talk on the phone with me


Just don't know if i can take it
Girl, you make me cop a plea

You've 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

Gone through some changes
Now you say your love is true


Boy, you know how much i loved you
And now i guess my heart has changed
Don't beg me, baby, can't take you back
I've found myself another man


[repeat chorus]

Oh, girl, i don't know
Why you treat me so bad
Do what's right


Why you treat me so bad, i don't know
Why you treat me so bad, so bad
Why you treat me so bad...
