Lyrics

Treat You Right
By D'Simone

I've been watching what your man puts you through
It must break your heart to see what he does to you
I don't understand how you can take it
Girl you deserve better

Listen up now
You know It seems to be that you do all the giving
You sit at home while he does all the living
He used to bring you flowers
Now you count the hours til you feel his hand

[Chorus]
Oh no,
Don't let him do you like that girl
Don't play the fool
Live by the golden rule
(Treat you right)
Got to treat you right
(Do unto others as you would have done to you)
(Treat you right)
Got to treat you right
(Do unto others as you would have done to you)

I know it must be hard to face this situation
After all the years of faithful dedication
But nobody's got the right to make you cry every night
You deserve better

[Chorus]
Oh no,
Don't let him do you like that girl
Don't play the fool
Live by the golden rule
(Treat you right)
Got to treat you right
(Do unto others as you would have done to you)
(Treat you right)
Got to treat you right
(Do unto others as you would have done to you)

[Bridge}
Let me tell you how it's gotta be
Bring you breakfast in bed
Coffee and cream
Sugar on the side
Do you know what I mean
Draw your bath in the morning
And lay out your clothes
And while you're brushing your hair
Massage your toes
Work two jobs to keep you in fashion
And never, ever forget the passion
Grant all your wishes
And while you're away
Write you love letters all day

[Chorus]
Let me tell how it's gotta be
Don't you play the fool girl
Live by the golden rule
(Treat you right)
Got to treat you right
(Do unto others as you would have done to you)
(Treat you right)
Got to treat you right
(Do unto others as you would have done to you)

Listen up now
(Treat you right)
Got to treat you right
