Aint No Way to Treat a Lady

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 lovin’ the show.

There’s a funny kind of consolation keepin’ me sane,

And I’d really like to share it; crawl on deep in my brain.

You see, the time you never felt me lovin’ you or needin’ you

So leavin’ you now you still won’t know h    ow to feel the pain

I was lookin’ out for my happiness

While you were looking within

And before you know your own reflection

Always starts to tire you and it’s happened again
