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
The way you treated me

When time was good, love
All of your lovin´ was the same
Oh, when the goin´ got rough
Boy, you hardly knew my name
You locked me out
And you threw away the key, baby
I wouldn´t treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me

Got me cryin for the love
That I´m needin´
Beggin´ like a dog for a bone
Boy, I´ve spent most of my time grievin´
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 beggin´ down on your knees, baby
I wouldn´t treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me

The way you treated me
I wouldn´t treat a dog, no no no
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 no
The way you treated me
No baby, the way you treated me
