Bobby Bland - I Wouldn't Treat A Dog (The Way You Treated Me) lyrics

rate me

Well, mm hmm, listen<br />

<br />

When I was up<br />

You would always come around<br />

But when I needed a friend<br />

Oh, you could never be found<br />

<br />

I got a hole where<br />

My heart used to be<br />

I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no<br />

The way you treated me<br />

<br />

When time was good, Lord<br />

All your loving was the same<br />

But when the going got rough<br />

You hardly knew my name<br />

<br />

You locked me up and<br />

You threw away the key<br />

I wouldn't treat a dog, oh my Lord<br />

The way you treated me<br />

<br />

Got me crying for<br />

A love that I needed<br />

Begging like a dog for a bone<br />

<br />

Although I spent all<br />

Of my time pleading<br />

You turned your back<br />

And you leave me<br />

<br />

One of these old days<br />

Lord knows, and it's true<br />

Just when you need me the most<br />

I'll walk right out on you<br />

<br />

And you'll say as you're<br />

Begging down on your knees<br />

Bobby, I wouldn't treat a dog<br />

No, no, no, the way you treated me<br />

The way you treated me<br />

<br />

I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no<br />

I wouldn't do it to you<br />

I wouldn't treat a dog, no, Lord<br />

The way you treated me<br />

<br />

Oh, I wouldn't do it<br />

I couldn't do it...
