Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady lyrics

I guess it was yourself you were involved with

I would have sworn it was me

I might have 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 being a picture

With all the colors that 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

Keepin' me sane

And I'd really like to share it

Crawl on deep in my brain

You 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 looking within

And before you know your own reflection

Always starts to tire you, and 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 (x2)
