Ain't No Way to Tread a Lady
I guess it was yourself you were involved with, I would've sworn it was me.I might've 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 bein' a picture, With all the colors, 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 keeping me sane,And I'd really like to share it, crawl on deep in my brain;And 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 happinessWhile you were lookin' withinAnd before you knew your own reflectionAlways starts to tire you, 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. Aus Songtexte Mania
