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
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
and start it all again
Let's just get back
to the way it was before
Oh girl I can't take anymore
(chorus)
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 anymore
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
and start it all again
Let's just get back
to the way it was before
Oh girl I can't take anymore
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Oh girl, I can't take anymore
Oh yeah
(instrumental)
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
No, don't treat me bad
Don't treat me bad
Don't treat me bad
Oh oh, oh oh oh
