| She was just sixteen, she was so sweet and clean
|
| She walked just like she know where she’d been.
|
| She set my blood on fire, I said «Are you for hire?»
|
| That’s when she turned on me and screamed:
|
| «That ain’t no way to treat a lady,
|
| That ain’t no way to treat a lady.»
|
| She had a Southern smile, had a New York style,
|
| I couldn’t let her get away.
|
| She was the girl of my dreams,
|
| and because I was mean, I had to listen to her say
|
| «That ain’t no way to treat a lady,
|
| That ain’t no way to treat a lady.»
|
| I had to have her bad, but she left me mad;
|
| that ain’t the way it should be.
|
| I’m gonna find that girl, take her around the world,
|
| I’m gonna love her 'till she screams:
|
| «That ain’t no way to treat a lady,
|
| That ain’t no way to treat a lady.» |
