How Come You Treat Me So Bad

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

I wonder where's my baby tonight

She ain't never around when I want her

Hey Southside, have you seen my baby?

No man, I ain't seen her

Well I been hearing some talk

Are you sure you haven't seen my baby?

Oh no.

Here, here she goes now

Well step out the way

I got to do some talking



Listen here baby to what I say

I break my back working hard all day

And just when I need a little sympathy

you ain't home



I know now baby that I don't ask much

Just a little respect and a loving touch

If I support two people the why am I living alone



Then I wonder



How come you treat me so bad

Your the most loving woman I ever had

How come you treat me so bad

girl I got to know



I got to find out what's going on



All the women stop and they give me the eye

But the woman I love don't even wonder why

I ain't good looking, but I know spending my money

Another man might get her off town

But if your the one that's like messing around

Well I ain't laughing

But something sure seems funny

Don't it



Hey Southside, there's something familiar about that shirt

Well eh..

I like to talk to you but I got to play a little something here.



I ask for cooking and you give me food

I ask for...and you give me...

I am asking for time and you tell me I am already to late

What you mean?

Someday, girl, you might change you mind

You realize what you left behind

I got news for you baby

I just might not wait, no more



How come you treat me so bad

Your the most loving woman I ever had

How come you treat me so bad

I am tired of being lonly and I feel so sad

How come you treat me so bad

Your the most loving woman I ever had

How come you treat me so bad

Girl, I got to know



That woman makes me so tired

How long can this go on

She's just like her mother

Yeah I know what you mean
