You Better Treat Your Man Right

You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better

You better wear a smile when I come home and not a frown

You better give me everything I need in the line of lovin'

Or there'll be a day when your old sweet man won't be around.

Well, I work all day and a-half the night to please my baby

And when I come home I found the place turned upside down

I better find you there in bed asleep just like I left you

If I ain't mistaken there's a dirty little mouse been a-messin' around.

You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better

You better wear a smile when I come home and not a frown

You better give me everything I need in the line of lovin'

Or there'll be a day when the old sweet man won't be around.

Well, you was so nice and sweet and cute dear when I met you

You was daddy sweet little pet, so true and kind

Yeah, but since I brought you to this mean, old dirty city

Well it seems to me everybody pets you all the time

You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better

You better wear a smile when I come home and not a frown

You better give me everything I need in the line of lovin'

Or there'll be a day when your old sweet daddy won't be around.

Or there'll be a day when your old sweet daddy won't be around...
