When I was up you'd always come around
When I need a friend you could never be found
I got a hole where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, love
The way you treated me
When time was good, love
All of your loving was the same
Oh, when the going got rough
Boy, you hardly knew my name
You locked me out and you threw away the key, yes, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no, love
The way you treated me
Got me crying for the love
That I'm needing
Begging like a dog for a bone
Boy, I've spent most of my time grieving
You turn you back
And you leave me, one of these old days
Lord knows that it's true
Just when you need me the most
I'll be walking out on you
When you say
As you're begging down on your knees, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, my love
The way you treated me
The way you treated me
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no, love
The way you treated me
No, no I wouldn't do it
No, baby, I couldn't do it
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no, love
The way you treated me
No baby, the way you treated me
