Treat Her Right

She may be getting somewhere, she may be staying put

She may be trying to reach you, she may be giving up

She may be trying to believe you or trying to deceive

Or holding on real tight, she may be threatening to leave

She may be picking up the pieces of what's been torn apart

And putting them together to find out who you are

She may be second thinking coincidence and chance

She might be into seeing her life before it happens

Oh the woman in your life

You gotta treat her right

She might be tryin' to know you one hundred years from now

She may be trying to forget you, she may be wondering how

She may be taking nothin' from you or taking what she needs?????

Or living her life for you or doing as she pleases

She may be learning this year to forget it all the next

She might have a good intention with a curse around her neck

She may be feelin' kinda lucky or swallowing defeat

Or wearing different faces for everyone she meets

Oh the woman in your life

You gotta treat her right

Sometimes her dress just don't fit right

Sometimes she's sick of the fight

And her lover just don't understand

The difficult days of a woman

You gotta treat her right

She may be close to the perfection you desire in yourself

She may be feeling sorry for you but never for herself

She may be putting up with living and working to the bone

Or staging a crusade before she gets home

She may be easily fooled and equally wise

Or trying to convince someone when she'd do otherwise

She might be feeling lonely with that smile upon her face

Or trying to intervene with the hands of fate

Oh the woman in your life

You gotta treat her right
