verse 1:

what's goin' on with ya lately, you're not the same.
someone took the light from your eyes and replaced it with pain.
and, this ain't the jealous type a thing, cause i ain't the type, woah
it's breakin' you apart, and i'm not just gonna stand by, no.

pre chours:

how 'bout the way he talks to you?
tellin' you everything to do,
watchin' ya every single move,
girl don't be a fool.

chorus:

girl, he's always on your back even in front of your friends
you're feeling like you're nothing when you're really a ten
and that's no way, no way,
way to treat a lady, lady (like you)
i hear some of them be saying you ain't worth this and
to any other man you'd be a priceless gem
and that's no way, no way,
way to treat a lady, lady (like you)

verse two:

now why you wanna let 'em keep playin', playin' these games?
and, don't tell me you don't know what he's doin', when you're away, yeah.
i don't understand how a girl as fine as you are,
got him bringing you the moon on a platter under the stars, yeah.

pre chours two:

why are you home alone tonight?
why is you're beauty outta sight?
always just messin' with my mind,
cause it just aint right.

chorus:

girl, he's always on your back even in front of your friends
you're feeling like you're nothing when you're really a ten
and that's no way, no way,
way to treat a lady, lady (like you)
i hear some of them be saying you ain't worth this and
to any other man you'd be a priceless gem
and that's no way, no way,
way to treat a lady, lady (like you)

breakdown:

can i see the reasoning why,
why he keeps on playin' with your heart?
cause, if you were my girl, i would give you my world to be yours.
stay forever by your side,
never do a thing to make you cry,
yes, if you were my girl, everything you deserve, you would have.

chorus: ((times two))

girl, he's always on your back even in front of your friends
you're feeling like you're nothing when you're really a ten
and that's no way, no way,
way to treat a lady, lady (like you)
i hear some of them be saying you ain't worth this and
to any other man you'd be a priceless gem
and that's no way, no way,
way to treat a lady, lady (like you)

girl, he's always on your back even in front of your friends
you're feeling like you're nothing when you're really a ten
and that's no way, no way,
way to treat a lady, lady (like you)
i hear some of them be saying you ain't worth this and
to any other man you'd be a priceless gem
and that's no way, no way,
way to treat a lady, lady (like you)


ending:

treat a lady like,
treat a lady like you,
treat a lady like,
treat a lady like..
