you want me to stay
you ask me to come back
you turn and walk away

you wanna be lovers
then you wanna be friends
I?m losin? my patience
you?re nearin? the end

one of these days you?re
gonna reach out and find
the one that you count on
has left you behind
don?t wanna be no martyr
you know I?m no saint
oh my my baby before it?s too late

treat me right
treat me right
open your eyes maybe you?ll see the light

do you think I?m a fool
well you better think twice
I?ve had enough baby
it?s time you realize

that you can?t have it both ways
?cause it?s no way to live
you?ve done all the takin?
it?s your turn to give

one of these days you?re gonna
reach out and find
the one that you count on has
left you behind
don?t wanna be no martyr
you know I?m no saint
oh my my baby before it?s too late

treat me right
treat me right
open your eyes
maybe you?ll see the light
oh treat me right

(musical break)

you want me to leave
you want me to stay
you ask me to come back
you turn and walk away

you wanna be lovers
then you wanna be friends
I?m losing my patience
you?re nearin? the end

treat me right
treat me right
open your eyes mabe you?ll see the light
oh treat me right

treat me right, treat me right
treat me right, treat me right.....
