Oh, I never thought you'd hurt me, I guess you live and learn
That when you're playin' with fire, you're bound to get burned
Oh, I've been mistreated, I've been used before
I get kicked in the face still I come back for moreBut I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces and start it all again
Let's just get back to the way it was before
Oh, girl I can't take anymoreBaby, don't treat me bad
This could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
You can do anything but baby, don't treat me bad
Oh, don't treat me badI gave it everything but you threw it all away
I can't take anymore of these games that you play
Oh, I've been through heartache and I've been through pain
And it's hard to believe you still treat me this wayBut I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces and start it all again
Let's just get back to the way it was before
Oh, girl I can't take anymoreBaby, don't treat me bad
Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
You can do anything but baby, don't treat me bad
Oh, don't treat me bad'Cause girl, I can't take anymore
Oh yeahNow listen to me baby, don't treat me bad
Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
You can do anything, but babyNow listen to me baby, don't treat me bad
Well this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
You can do anything but baby, don't treat me bad
