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.
--- Instrumental ---
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...
