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.

Well, you was so nice and sweet and cute dear when I
met you
You was daddy sweet little pet, so true and kind
Yeah, but since I brought you to this mean, old dirty
city
Well it seems to me everybody pets you all the time
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 daddy won't be
around.
Or there'll be a day when your old sweet daddy won't be
around...
