Song Lyrics

Ooh, oh Lord, well listen

When I was up you would always come 'round
But when I needed a friend, oh you could never be found
I got a hole where my heart used to be

I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no
The way you treated me
The way you treated me

When time was good, oh Lord, all your loving was the same
But when the going got rough you hardly knew my name
You locked me up and you threw away the key

I wouldn't treat a dog, oh Lord
The way you treated me

Got me crying for a love that I needed
Begging like a dog for a bone
Although I spent all my time pleading
You turned your back and you leave

One of these old days, Lord knows, oh yeah it's true
Just when you need me the most I'll walk right out on you
And you'll say as you're begging down on your bended knees

I wouldn't treat a dog
No, no, the way you treated me
The way you treated me
Oh no, no, I wouldn't do it to you baby
