You mistreat me baby
I can't see no reason why
You know that I'd kill for you
And I'm not afraid to die.
But you treat me like a stepchild
Oh lord, am I your stepchild?
I wanna turn my back an' run away from you
But oh I just can't let you be.
I get nervous in your company
My knees get weak
Both my eyes get misty
And my tongue can't speak.
You treat me like a stepchild
Oh lord, am I your stepchild?
I wanna turn my back an' run away from you
But you know I can't let you be.
You know that I never loved you, honey
A nervous wreck
This way's gonna be like you hold me
Like a noose around my neck.
You treat me like a stepchild
Like a stepchild
I want to turn my back an' run away
But you know I can't let you be.
You treat me like a stepchild
Oh lord, am I your stepchild?
I want to turn my back an' run away from you
But you know I just can't let you be.
