[Verse 1]
C E E7 F C G7
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do,
C E E7 F G G7
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do?
C C7
There's just as many geese and they're flyin' down South
F G
As there are lies just pouring out of your mouth.
C E E7 F C
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do?
[Verse 2]
C E E7 F C G7
You say that you're young, girl, I guess that's your big excuse
C E E7 F G G7
But sometimes I get so low down I wanna shout out: What's the use?
C C7
When you've been a lovin' someone else you don't try to hide
F G
You take me for a fool then you take me for a ride.
C E E7 F C
Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do?
[Verse 3]
C E E7 F C G7
Ah, you seen my face, gal, with the tears all down my mouth.
C E E7 F G G7
You came up, you held my hand, gal, you don't know what it's all about.
C C7
I've seen you goin' out, there was nothin' I could say,
F G
I hung around your house till the very break of day,
C E E7
Then you came a-laughing down the bright highway.
F C
Now, why do you treat me like you do?
[Verse 4]
C E E7 F C G7
My mornings, they're all empty now, my evenings, they're just the same,
C E E7 F G G7
Now maybe I've been thinkin' wrong about you, gal, and you ain't really the one to blame.
C C7
Keep on lovin' someone else, now don't you try to hide,
F G
You can take me for a fool if it keeps you satisfied,
C E E7
'Cause I ain't gonna be the one to ask the reason
F C
Why do you treat me like you do.
