You Don't Treat Me Right

Faron Young · The Best [Mercury] [1970]

(Kent Westberry - Benny Joy)



I'm de-abused and you're the abuser

I'm de-accused and you're the accuser

I'm de-missuesed and you're the missueser

You don't treat me right honey baby, and that's so wrong.



I've made a fool's heart you break this fool's heart

While you're out cheating my heart takes a beating

I'm de-confused and you're the confuser

You don't treat me right honey baby, and that's so wrong.



You know what I oughta do

I oughta go away and leave you a cryin'

But somehow we can find, I know

That I can never, ever let you go, there's no use to tryin'.



You keep tears in my eyes

But my ears know only lies you're a talkin'

Oh, but one day I won't give a hoot

I'll buy me a new pair of boots and use a walkin'.



I am the giver you are the taker

I get the heartaches and you are the maker

I am the fool and you are the faker

You don't treat me right honey baby, and that's so wrong...
