Treat Me Like Your Mother Songtext
von The Dead Weather

Don′t act like you can't act
I know I seen you do it
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

Don′t act like you can't act
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

You came on too late
You came on too late now
You came on too late
To do a thing

C'mon look me in the eye
You want to try to tell a lie
I bet you can′t and you know why
I′m just like your mother


Look me in the eye now
You want to try to tell a lie
You can't and you know why
I′m just like your mother

You came on too late
You came on too late now
You came on too late
Play dumb, play dead, play straight

Who's got it figured out
Play dumb, play dead, play straight
Who′s got it figured out
Play straight tryin' to manipulate

Yeah, M-A-N-I-P-U-LATE!
M-A-N-I-P-U-LATE!
M-A-N-I-P-U-LATE!
M-A-N-I-P-U-LATE!

Am I too, am I late
Am I too, am I late
Am I, am I, am I, am I
Am I too late?

Who′s got it figured out
Left right left right got it figured out
Who's got it figured out, play straight


Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
Look me in the eye now
And treat me like your mother
C'mon look me in the eye

You want to try to tell a lie
You can′t and you know why
I′m just like your mother
Play dumb play dead
Yeah, tryin' to manipulate

You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie

Who′s got it figured out
Left right left right got it figured out
Who's got it figured out, play straight (straight)
Tryin′ to manipulate
Who's got it figured out (left)
Left right, left right, left right
Who′s got it figured out
Play straight tryin' to manipulate

You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who's got it figured out, play straight
