Would Not Treat Dog Lyrics

Wouldn't Treat A Dog

from the Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows LP "Playin' for Keeps"

(also recorded by Clive Gregson and Christine Collister a few years later)

When I was up,

Girl, you were always comin' round

When I needed a friend,

You could never be found.

I've got a hole where my heart used to be.

I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby

The way you treated me. (I couldn't do it to ya, now)

When times were good,

Girl, all your lovin was the same.

When the cold wind got rough,

You hardly knew my name.

You've locked me out and you threw away the key.

I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby,

The way you treated me.

You've got me cryin' for love and I need it,

Beggin' like a dog for a bone.

I know I spend all my time feelin',

Turn my back and you'll leave me one of these old days.

Lord know that it's true,

Just when you need me the most,

Girl, I'll walk right out on you.

I hear you say, beggin' down on your bended knees,

I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby,

The way you treated me.

I've got a hole where my heart used to be,

I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby,

I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby,

The way you..... treated...... me.
