You would always come around
But 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 lord, the way you treated me
When time was good
All your loving was the same
But when the going got rough
You hardly knew my name
You locked me out
And threw away the key
I wouldn’t treat a dog
No, no, no, the way you treated me
Got me crying for the love that I needed
Begging like a dog for a bone
Although I spent most of my time pleasing
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 lord, the way you treated me
Ah the way you treat me
I wouldn’t treat a dog
No, no lord the way you treated me
No, no wouldn’t do it
No baby, I couldn’t do it
I wouldn’t treat a dog
No, no lord the way you treated me
No baby, the way you treated me
