Don't mistreat me, mama, when you know you doin' wrong yourself
Don't mistreat me, baby, when you know you're doin' wrong yourself
Well, you ain't doin' nothin' but drivin' me right to somebody else

How can I love you woman, when you always gone
You expect for me to do right, when you always doin' wrong

Don't mistreat me, mama, when you know you doin' wrong yourself
Don't mistreat me, baby, when you know you're doin' wrong yourself
Well, you ain't doin' nothin' but drivin' me right to somebody else

I asked her where she been, she said, "Sonny that ain't a rule"
She looked me dead in my face, "None of your business, fool"

Don't mistreat me, mama, when you know you doin' wrong yourself
Don't mistreat me, baby, when you know you're doin' wrong yourself
Well, you ain't doin' nothin' but drivin' me right to somebody else

You know I love you woman, you can bet your life it's true
I want you to love me little girl, that all I want from you

Don't mistreat me, mama, when you know you doin' wrong yourself
Don't mistreat me, baby, when you know you're doin' wrong yourself
Well, you ain't doin' nothin' but drivin' me right to somebody else

Don't get mad little girl, cause a' the things I'm sayin' to you
I want you to realize woman, you know you got some troubles, too

Don't mistreat me, mama, when you know you doin' wrong yourself
Don't mistreat me, baby, when you know you're doin' wrong yourself
Well, you ain't doin' nothin' but drivin' me right to somebody else
