================================

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 bein' a picture
With all the colors I know
While you were busy
looking into wide blue mirrors
and loving 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
You see the time you never felt
me loving you or needing you
So leaving you now
You still won't know how
to feel the pain

I was looking out
for my happiness
while you were looking within
And before you know
your own reflection
always 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

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

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
