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?
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
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 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, ah, me want to 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, just let me tell you how I really and truly feel
You know that I have doubts and issues
But now I'm gonna tell you the deal
You tell me that I always hurt ya, I don't know what ya talkin' 'bout
Tried to love you, tried to hold you, but you always seemed to doubt

You have 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, cuz 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 just thinkin' how our love could be
But everytime I call you up, you won't get on the phone with me
I just don't know if I can take it, you make me cop a plea
You got me begging for your lovin', 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 done through some changes
Now you say your love is true
Boy, you know how much I loved you, now I guess my heart has changed
Don't beg me, baby, can't take you back, I've 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?
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?
