If You Don't Treat Me Better Songtext
von Bobby Rush

I work, work, work
What have I got to show?
The only thing I ever get is a hard way to go
Well, I work my fingers down to the bone
To bring my money home
When I get home, my woman′s gone and leave me all alone
I got to tell you the truth
I got to tell you just like it is

Well, if she can't treat me no better
Gonna find me somebody else that will

I′m full, full, full, Lord, up to my neck
The only time my woman's nice to me is when I cash my cheque
She spends my money, Lord
Like it grows on a tree
And she stays out all night, she think that should be alright with me

But I got to tell you the truth
I got to tell you just how I feel

Woman, if you don't treat me better
Got to find me somebody else that will


I′m tired, tired of talking to you
′Bout you being so untrue
Seem like the more I talk, girl
The more things you wanna do
Can't ask you where you going
Can′t ask you where you've been
You get mad, girl
And you, you walk out the door again

If you can′t do me no better
I'ma find me somebody else that will

Oh, Lord
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh

I bet you′re using me for conviniency
If I'm wrong, please tell me right
What goes on in the dark, yeah
Will soon come to light
If you don't love me, girl
Go ahead and let me be
If you don′t like my apples, girl
You don′t have to shake my tree

If you can't treat me better
Gonna find me somebody else that will
Oh, Lord


You ain′t the only fish in the deep blue sea
And you ain't the only woman that woes me
That′s why I got to tell you just how I feel

If you can't treat me better, babe
Gotta find me somebody else that will

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) I got to find me somebody else that will
Ooh, ooh-wee
Gonna find me somebody else that will
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Find me someone, kiss me when I wanna
To hug me when I need it
Tease me, but please me
Squeeze me, don′t leave me

Oh, Lord
Gotta find me somebody treat me right
Somebody to love me
Both day and night
I want somebody to squeeze me when I wanna, ah-ah
When I need it, yeah
When I, every time I think I need it

Ooh, Lord
Gotta find somebody
If you don't want me
