(Ian Hunter)
He likes to wear thousand dollar suits He likes to lift weights, do little too He likes to show off in front of all your friends And then you go home and you beat her up again That's no way to treat a lady (ain't no way) You as low as low you can be That's no way to treat a lady (ain't no way) If you don't respect her set her free He never comforts her when she cries The only tissues you got are lies Her body shocked, her face is black and blue How could she ever love scum like you That's no way to treat a lady There's something wicked there in your brain That's no way to treat a lady You're pretty dumb so I'll say it once again Ain't no way, Ain't no way, (Ain't no way) Ain't no way to treat a lady No it ain't no way, Ain't no way, (Ain't no way) It ain't no way to treat a lady He never picked her up when she fell You never gave her anything but hell You don't support her even though she's got your kids And you're trying to destroy her, best thing that you ever did That's no way to treat a lady You never learn, you're as stubborn as a mule That's no way to treat a lady There's ain't no fool like a young fool Her feet are aching Her back is breaking Her nerves are shaking From the crap she's taking Her hands are raw Her heart is sore She doesn't know when she can take any more He likes to play dirty little games He likes to call her dirty little names She got no money, she got nothing left of her And everywhere she looks all she sees is dirt That's no way to treat a lady (ain't no way) You as low as low you can be That's no way to treat a lady Your dirty little secret is safe with me
