I never thought you'd hurt me
I guess you live and learn
That when you're playin' with fire, you're bound to get burned
Oh, I've been mistreated, I've been used before
I get kicked in the face, still I come back for more

But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces, start it all again
Let's just get back to the way it was before
Oh, girl I can't take anymore

Baby, don't treat me bad
Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well, you can do anything, but baby, don't treat me bad
Oh, don't treat me bad

I gave it everything but you threw it all away
I can't take any more of these games that you play
I've been through heartache and I've been through pain
And it's hard to believe you still treat me this way

But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain
We can pick up the pieces, start it all again
Let's just get back to the way it was before
Oh, girl I can't take anymore

Baby, don't treat me bad
Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well, you can do anything, but baby, don't treat me bad
Oh, don't treat me bad

'Cause girl, I can't take anymore, oh yeah
Now listen to me

Baby, don't treat me bad
Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well, you can do anything, but baby

Now listen to me baby, don't treat me bad
Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have
Baby, don't treat me bad
Well, you can do anything, but baby
Don't treat me bad
Don't treat me bad

Oh yeah, don't treat me bad
No no, no no, no no, don't treat me bad
Don't treat me bad

    the chorus on this song is just plain kick ass fun! its a really fun song! i cant believe we traded this type of music for grunge! like C.C. DeVille said, well i think it was him i dont remember "the people traded happy music, fun music about girls and parties for depresive music, we all know out lives suck lets not sing about it, lets have some fun" "and i still dont like grunge" its really sad, this kind of songs rule!

    love it. I always kinda picture this song to an opening of some fuckin awesome movie, involving some teen riding on his bike to highschool with this song in the background. i havent really worked out the rest of the plot yet.

    This song is freaking awesome! The meaning is pretty self explanatory. He just wants things to be the way it was when he first met her. Makes you want to get up and dance! This song kicks ass!

    for some reason the first verse I really like esp. the line "I get kicked in the face, still i come back for more" Awesome song, awesome group. i also like these guys for their vocalist. That has got to be a really hard kick to the nuts to sing that high, geez.
