how come you treat me so bad? lyrics

I wonder where's my woman tonight
She ain?t never around when I want her
Hey, Southside, have you seen my baby?
No, man, I ain?t seen her

Well, I?ve been hearin? some talk
You sure, you haven?t seen her?
Uh, uh, well, here she comes now
Well, step out the way, I gotta do some talkin?

Listen here, baby, to what I say
I break my back by working hard all day
And just when I need a little sympathy
You ain?t home

You know now baby that I don?t ask much
Just a little respect and a lovin? touch
If I support two people then why
Am I living alone?

Then I wonder, how come you treat me so bad?
You?re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me ?cause I?ve got to know, I got to find out what?s going on

All the women stop and they give me the eye
But the woman I love, don?t even wonder why
I ain?t good lookin? but I don?t mind
Spending my money

Another man might dress better uptown
But he?s more likely to be messing around
Now I ain?t laughing but something sure
Seems funny, don?t it?

How come you treat me so bad?
You?re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me ?cause I?ve got to know

[Incomprehensible]

I ask for chicken and you give me beans
I ask for butter, you give me margarine
I ask you for the time and you tell me
I am already too late

Someday girl, you might change your mind
You realize what you left behind
I got news for you baby, I just
Might not wait, no more

How come you treat me so bad?
You?re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
I am tired of being lonely and I feel so sad

How come you treat me so bad?
You?re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me ?cause I?ve got to know

That woman makes me so tired
How long can this go on?
She?s just like her mother
Yeah, I know what you mean

What you mean, you know what I mean?
Well, don?t get excited, Lee
I?m talkin? about my baby, who you talkin? about? Well, I was just, uh
Hey, where did you get that shirt? This is my shirt

Did my baby give you my shirt?
Wait a minute
I paid twelve dollars for that shirt
This is my shirt and you only paid ninety nine cents for it

Ninety nine cents, huh? I believe you?ve been steppin? out on me
Oh, yeah? Well, I don?t mind steppin? outside
Alright we can step outside but just watch the shirt
You don?t have to worry about the shirt
[Incomprehensible]
