You Can't Treat the Wrong Man Right |
| Can’t you see he doesn’t care |
| He likes to play with you that’s all |
| He’s waiting on someone else’s call |
| He’s playing it cool |
| Why’s it so hard to reach you? |
| Why are you still out there |
| Beating your heart against the wall |
| Waiting for Jericho to fall |
| You hard-headed fool |
| Didn’t your mama teach you |
| Anything at all |
| You can’t treat the wrong man right |
| Or change a devil to an angel overnight |
| He’ll wreck all your best laid plans for spite |
| You can’t treat the wrong man right |
| You can’t treat the right man wrong |
| When you’re out on the town |
| Acting mean and head-strong |
| He’ll sit home and wait for you all night long |
| You can’t treat the right man wrong |
| I heard it on the telephone |
| A woman was whispering in my ear |
| And though I was trying not to hear |
| The message came through |
| She was someone who knew you |
| I guess she told me everything |
| I wasn’t listening anyway |
| I know she had a lot to say |
| But nothing was clear |
| I only remember her voice |
| Above the sound of the pinball |
| Saying to me You can’t treat the wrong man right |
| Or change a devil to an angel overnight |
| He’ll steal all your love and and fly by night |
| You can’t treat the wrong man right |
| You can’t treat the right man wrong |
| You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong |
| And he’ll be waiting when you come back in sight |
| You can’t treat the right man wrong |
| You can’t treat the wrong man right |
