She was so sweet and clean
She walked just like she knew 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 going to find that girl
Take her around the world
I'm going to love her till she screams
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way
That ain't no way to treat a lady
A lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady
To treat a lady
To treat a lady
To treat a lady
