I`ve been mistreated, I`ve been abused.
I`ve been struck downhearted, baby, I`ve been confused
`cause I know, yes, I know I`ve been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I`ve been losing my mind, you know I have.

I`ve been lonely, I`ve been cold.
I`ve been looking for a woman to have and hold
`cause I know, yes, I know I`ve been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I`ve been losing, I`ve been losing,
I`ve been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I`ve been mistreated, I`ve been abused.
I`ve been looking for a woman, yeh, I`ve been confused
`cause I know, yes, I know I`ve been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I`ve been losing, losing,
I`ve been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I`ve been losing my mind.
