Treat Me Right Lyrics
the first night we met i will never forget
baby you were a star
from that point in time
it was always you and i
shining so beautiful
later out with your friends
you treat me like i'm dead
it was like i'm invisible
(i can't let it go)
that was unforgivable
i just want to let you know
situations unlivable
i cant let it go
tell me why you say that you want me
when all you ever do, girl, is push all my buttons
you always bring me down in public
when nobody's around you say that you love me
make me say oh no, i see you all alone
i'm halfway out the door
unless you turn around and treat me right
you got me twisted, oh you got me twisted
im not someone you can just disrespect, oh
how would you feel if you were in my shoes
feeling used, with a heart bruised
(i can't let it go)
the situations critical
relationship is plentiful
everythings falling apart
cause you're so hypocritical
so tell me why you say that you want me
when all you ever do, girl, is push all my buttons
you always bring me down in public
when nobody's around you say that you love me
make me say oh no, i see you all alone
i'm halfway out the door
unless you turn around and treat me right
you're just no good for me
you're no good for me
you're just no good for me
i know you're no good for me
you know, just want to treat me cold
and have no one to hold
one day im gonna say goodbye
whats it gonna be, this girl i'm gonna leave
unless you turn around and treat me right
so, tell me why you say that you want me
when all you ever do, girl, is push all my buttons
you always bring me down in public
when nobody's around you say that you love me
make me say oh no, i see you all alone
i'm halfway out the door
unless you turn around and treat me right
i see you all alone
i'm halfway out the door
unless you turn around and treat me right
just treat me right
just treat me right, and say that you want me
just treat me right
just treat me right
so, tell me why you say that you want me
when all you ever do, girl, is push all my buttons
you always bring me down in public (just treat me right)
when nobody's around you say that you love me
make me say oh no, i see you all alone
i'm halfway out the door
unless you turn around and treat me right
i see you all alone
i'm halfway out the door
unless you turn around and treat me right
baby you were a star
from that point in time
it was always you and i
shining so beautiful
you treat me like i'm dead
it was like i'm invisible
(i can't let it go)
that was unforgivable
i just want to let you know
situations unlivable
i cant let it go
when all you ever do, girl, is push all my buttons
you always bring me down in public
when nobody's around you say that you love me
make me say oh no, i see you all alone
i'm halfway out the door
unless you turn around and treat me right
im not someone you can just disrespect, oh
how would you feel if you were in my shoes

just treat me right, and say that you want me
just treat me right
just treat me right
when all you ever do, girl, is push all my buttons

i see you all alone
i'm halfway out the door
unless you turn around and treat me right

i can't believe no-one has commented on this. When this song first started out... i was thinking "WTF"!!! lol.. but i actually listened to the lyrics and the upbeat tune got me really involved. to me, this song is a story about a guy who feels that his girlfriend/lover or whatever they're called only treats him right when they're alone. Whenever her friends are around she'll ignore him and pretend he's not there. He doesn't want to end it incase she does decide to treat him right. This is great song and means a lot to me as an ex had this problem.. but this site isn;t about me.. its about the meaning of songs so i wont go further! LOL!! awesome song!!
I LOVE this song. Although I adore all of their songs I cant understand why they insist on releasing slow power ballads when they have awesome songs like this on their album. Perhaps they are so rich they just dont care bout charting anymore but Im positive that this one would put them back on the map. Just like "My Beautiful Woman" would have off the last album.
I love BSB, been to see them both times they've been to Aus and I will like them no matter how long they stay uncool. But the needy little girl inside me kinda wants to be validated by having them cool again. And "Treat me Right" would do it! It'd be pumping in the clubs 2 seconds after they released it.
Anyway, killer song, although some people get a little overwhelmed by the layering in the bridge.
I adore this song! It is such a good song and I love the rhythm and the words! When this album came out, I ran and got it from the store that day! This is probably my favorite song on this CD. Me and my sister and even my little brother who isn't fond of the BSB actually listens to it and sings along! I love the BSB!
Fantastic! Shoulda been a single. Catchy beat.
