I´ve been mistreated, I´ve been abused.
I´ve been struck downhearted, baby, I´ve been confused
´cause I know, yes, I know I´ve been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I´ve been losing my mind, you know I have.

I´ve been lonely, I´ve been cold.
I´ve been looking for a woman to have and hold
´cause I know, yes, I know I´ve been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I´ve been losing, I´ve been losing,
I´ve been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I´ve been mistreated, I´ve been abused.
I´ve been looking for a woman, yeh, I´ve been confused
´cause I know, yes, I know I´ve been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I´ve been losing, losing,
I´ve been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I´ve been losing my mind.
