When I was up, girl, you were always coming 'round
When I needed a friend, you could never be found
I've got a hole where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby, the way you treated me

When times were good, girl, all your loving was the same
When the cold wind got rough, you hardly knew my name
You've locked me out and you threw away the key
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby, the way you treated me

You've got me crying for love and I need it
Begging like a dog for a bone
I know I spend all my time feeling
Turn my back and you'll leave me one of these old days

Lord know that it's true, just when you need me the most,
Girl, I'll walk right out on you
I hear you say, begging down on your bended knees,
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby, the way you treated me.

I've got a hole where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby

I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby
The way you treated me
