He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite
She was someone who knew you
Waiting for Jericho to fall, you hard-headed fool
Acting mean and head-strong
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
You can't treat the right man wrong
He's waiting on someone else's call
A woman was whispering in my ear
You can't treat the right man wrong
You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong
He'll sit home and wait for you, all night long
The message came through
You can't treat the wrong man right
He'll steal all your love and and fly by night
Beating your heart against the wall
He's playing it cool, why's it so hard to reach you?
You can't treat the wrong man right
You can't treat the wrong man right
But nothing was clear
Didn't your mama teach you anything at all?
I wasn't listening anyway
Above the sound of the pinball
I guess she told me everything
You can't treat the right man wrong
You can't treat the right man wrong
And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight
You can't treat the wrong man right
Saying to me
I heard it on the telephone
I only remember her voice
Why are you still out there?
And though I was trying not to hear
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
When you're out on the town
I know she had a lot to say
