Southside Johnny - How Come You Treat Me So Bad? 歌词

I wonder where is my woman tonight
She ain't never around when I want her
Hey, Southside, have you seen my baby?
(No, man, I ain't seen her)
Well, I've been hearin' some talk
You sure you haven't 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 ain't home

You know now baby that I don't 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?
You're the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me 'cause I've got to know
I got to find out what's going on

All the women stop and they give me the eye
But the woman I love don't even wonder why
I ain't good lookin', but I don't mind spending my money

Another man might dress better uptown
But he's more than likely to be messing around
Now I ain't laughing, but something sure seems funny
Don't it?

How come you treat me so bad?
You're the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me 'cause I've got to know

I ask for chicken and you give me beans
I ask for butter and 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?
You're 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?
You're the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me 'cause I've got to know

That woman makes me so tired
How long can this go on?
She's just like her mother
(Yea, I know what you mean)
What you mean, you know what I mean?
(Well, don't get excited, Lee)
I'm 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 $12 for that shirt
(This is my shirt, and you only paid 99 cents for it)
99 cents, huh? I believe you've been steppin' out on me
(Oh, yea? Well I don't mind steppin' outside)
Alright we can step outside, but just watch the shirt
(You don't have to worry about the shirt
'Cause I'm gonna hit you so hard when you wake up
your clothes are gonna be outta style)
