Artist/Band: Bob Marley
Lyrics for Song: Treat Me Right
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Bob Marley



You want me to leave, you want me to stay


You ask me to come back, then you turn and walk away


You wanna be lovers, then you wanna be friends


I'm losin' my patience, you're nearin' the end





One of these days you're gonna reach out and find


The one that you count on has left you behind


Don't wanna be no mother, you know I'm no saint


Oh my, my baby, before it's too late





Treat me right, treat me right, open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light





Do you think I'm a fool, well you'd better think twice


I've had enough, baby, it's time you realize


That you can't have it both ways, that's no way to live


You've done all the takin', it's your turn to give





One of these days you're gonna reach out and find


The one that you count on has left you behind


Don't wanna be no mother, you know I'm no saint


Oh my, my baby, before it's too late





Treat me right, treat me right


Open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light, oh, treat me right





You want me to leave, you want me to stay


You ask me to come back, you turn and walk away


You wanna be lovers, then you wanna be friends


I'm losin' my patience, you're nearin' the end





Treat me right, treat me right


Open your eyes, maybe you'll see the light, oh, treat me right





Treat me right, treat me right


Treat me right, treat me right


About Treat Me Right

Bob Marley's "Treat Me Right" stands as a poignant testament to the enduring power of reggae to address personal betrayal and social injustice. Recorded during the height of his international fame, the track exemplifies the genre's characteristic blend of rhythmic depth and lyrical clarity. While often associated with the broader themes found on albums like *Exodus* and *Natty Dread*, this specific recording captures a raw, intimate perspective on the struggle to maintain dignity amidst adversity. The song reinforces Marley's legacy as a voice for the marginalized, utilizing his signature vocal delivery to convey both vulnerability and resilience. It serves as a reminder of the artist's commitment to exploring complex human emotions within the framework of Rastafarian philosophy. By focusing on the need for mutual respect and honest treatment, the track remains a timeless appeal that resonates across generations, highlighting the universal desire for fairness and the strength required to navigate difficult relationships.
