  • I never thought you'd hurt me
    I guess you live and learn
    That when you're playin' with fire, you're bound to get burned
    Oh, I've been mistreated, I've been used before
    I get kicked in the face, still I come back for more

    But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain
    We can pick up the pieces, start it all again
    Let's just get back to the way it was before
    Oh, girl I can't take anymore

    Baby, don't treat me bad
    Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
    Baby, don't treat me bad
    Well, you can do anything, but baby, don't treat me bad
    Oh, don't treat me bad

    I gave it everything but you threw it all away
    I can't take any more of these games that you play
    I've been through heartache and I've been through pain
    And it's hard to believe you still treat me this way

    But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain
    We can pick up the pieces, start it all again
    Let's just get back to the way it was before
    Oh, girl I can't take anymore

    Baby, don't treat me bad
    Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
    Baby, don't treat me bad
    Well, you can do anything, but baby, don't treat me bad
    Oh, don't treat me bad

    'Cause girl, I can't take anymore, oh yeah
    Now listen to me

    Baby, don't treat me bad
    Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
    Baby, don't treat me bad
    Well, you can do anything, but baby

    Now listen to me baby, don't treat me bad
    Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
    Baby, don't treat me bad
    Well, you can do anything, but baby
    Don't treat me bad
    Don't treat me bad

    Oh yeah, don't treat me bad
    No no, no no, no no, don't treat me bad
