That ain't the way it should be
That ain't no way to treat a lady"
She had a Southern smile, had a New York style
"That ain't no way to treat a lady
And because I was mean, I had to listen to her say
I couldn't let her get away
I'm gonna find that girl, take her around the world
No that ain't no way
That's when she turned on me and screamed
"That ain't no way to treat a lady
I'm gonna love her 'til she screams
That ain't no way to treat a lady, a lady yeah
I had to have her bad, but she left me mad
That ain't no way to treat a lady, to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady"
She was the girl of my dreams
"That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady"
She set my blood on fire, I said, "Are you for hire?"
