From the album best of donovan ii



Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do,

Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?

There's just as many geese and they're flyin' down South

As there are lies just pouring out of your mouth.

Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?

You say that you're young, girl, I guess that's your big excuse

But sometimes I get so low down I wanna shout out, What's the use ?!

When you've been a lovin' someone else you don't try to hide

You take me for a fool then you take me for a ride.

Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?

Ah, you seen my face, gal, with the tears all down my mouth.

You came up, you held my hand, gal, you don't know what it's all about.

I seen you goin' out, there was nothin' I could say,

I hung around your house till the very break of day,

Then you came a-laughing down the bright highway.

Now, why do you treat me like you do ?

My mornings, they're all empty now, my evenings, they're just the same,

Now maybe I been thinkin' wrong about you, gal, and you ain't really the one to

blame.

Keep on lovin' someone else, now don't you try to hide,

You can take me for a fool if it keeps you satisfied,

'Cause I ain't gonna be the one to ask the reason

Why do you treat me like you do.
