| You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better
|
| You better wear a smile when I come home and not a frown
|
| You better give me everything I need in the line of lovin'
|
| Or there’ll be a day when your old sweet man won’t be around
|
| Well, I work all day and a-half the night to please my baby
|
| And when I come home I found the place turned upside down
|
| I better find you there in bed asleep just like I left you
|
| If I ain’t mistaken there’s a dirty little mouse been a-messin' around
|
| You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better
|
| You better wear a smile when I come home and not a frown
|
| You better give me everything I need in the line of lovin'
|
| Or there’ll be a day when the old sweet man won’t be around

|
| You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better
