Stepchild

You mistreat me baby

I can't see no reason why

You know that I'd kill for you

And I'm not afraid to die.

But you treat me like a stepchild

Oh lord, am I your stepchild?

I wanna turn my back an' run away from you

But oh I just can't let you be.

I get nervous in your company

My knees get weak

Both my eyes get misty

And my tongue can't speak.

You treat me like a stepchild

Oh lord, am I your stepchild?

I wanna turn my back an' run away from you

But you know I can't let you be.

You know that I never loved you, honey

A nervous wreck

This way's gonna be like you hold me

Like a noose around my neck.

You treat me like a stepchild

Like a stepchild

I want to turn my back an' run away

But you know I can't let you be.

You treat me like a stepchild

Oh lord, am I your stepchild?

I want to turn my back an' run away from you

But you know I just can't let you be.
