Il testo della How come you treat me so bad?

I wonder where's my woman tonight
She aint never around when i want her
Hey, southside, have you seen my baby?
No, man, i aint seen her

Well, ive been hearin some talk
You sure, you havent 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 aint home

You know now baby that i dont 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?
Youre the most stubborn woman that i ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me cause ive got to know, i got to find out whats going on

All the women stop and they give me the eye
But the woman i love, dont even wonder why
I aint good lookin but i dont mind
Spending my money

Another man might dress better uptown
But hes more likely to be messing around
Now i aint laughing but something sure
Seems funny, dont it?

How come you treat me so bad?
Youre the most stubborn woman that i ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me cause ive 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?
Youre 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?
Youre the most stubborn woman that i ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me cause ive got to know

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

What you mean, you know what i mean?
Well, dont get excited, lee
Im 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 youve been steppin out on me
Oh, yeah? well, i dont mind steppin outside
Alright we can step outside but just watch the shirt
You dont have to worry about the shirt
