Lyrics:
Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad
Oh girl, I loved you but you turned and you walked away
I would love you for tomorrow though I know I do today
Told me that you'd never hurt me, girl, you just tore my life apart
Tell me baby, why'd you do it, won't you bring me back my heart
I tried to understand it baby, I searched my heart inside my mind
I searched the depths of my soul, baby
There was nothing there to find
You told me that you'd never leave me
Girl, you just went and told a lie
Tell me baby, why'd you do it, why'd you make me want to cry
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why baby
Why you treat me so bad, why you do me the way you do
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why baby
Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad, baby
Boy, just let me tell you how I really and truly feel
You know that I have doubts and issues
But now I'm gonna tell you the deal
You tell me that I always hurt ya, I don't know what ya talkin' 'bout
Tried to love you, tried to hold you, but you always seemed to doubt
You told me that you didn't trust me
And you didn't want me around
Show somebody else your interest, now you walk around with a frown
Sorry that you say I hurt you, but you know you hurt me too
I'm begging you baby, I need you back
Because I'm still in love with you
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why baby
Why you treat me so bad, why you do me the way you do
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why baby
Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad, baby
I sit here all alone just thinkin' how our love could be
But everytime I call you up, you won't talk on the phone with me
I just don't know if I can take it, girl, you make me cop a plea
You got me begging for your lovin', can't you see it's killing me
I just don't understand you baby, after all I've done for you
You know we've both done through some changes
Now you say your love is true
Boy, you know how much I loved you, now I guess my heart has changed
Don't beg me baby, can't take you back, I've found myself another man
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why baby
Why you treat me so bad, why you do me the way you do
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why baby
Why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad, baby
Oh girl, I don't know
Why you treat me so bad
Do what's right, yeah
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why, baby
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why, baby
Why you treat me so bad, why you treat me so bad
Why you treat me so bad, I don't know why, baby

One of my favorite sampled songs of all time!! Anyone else still listening in 2024? Where my old heads at? 💪💜💯😁😂

[wendelltaylor]

One of the nastiest intros in R&B to date... I will always have $5 on this song

[tarshagreene]

Still listening in 2024❤. I remember when I was a kid. My dad used to have the cassette tape to Club Nouveau and used to play this song and Lean on me over and over. Those are the good old days.😊

[robertmonarrez]

Still bumping in 2023. Whos with me? 👀

[tierajulien]

They don't make music like this anymore😍😍🎶🎶🎵🎵😘😘

[therealcmv]

80’s beats are so pure n smooth, when the beat drops and that kick just amplifies your speakers 🔊

[Rizzlyricist]

I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.

[neosneos]

I bought the record in 1987 and I still have it today. I love Club Nouveau

[RevitUp]

Ashanti sampled the beginning of this song for her track "Only you" and the Luniz sampled the beat for their track I got 5 on it. Always respect the artist who came before you.

[billyhart]

1987 I was 13.
Who still bangin this.

[angelinaroybal]

Dam I miss growing up in 80s n 90s the jams were the best lots of good memories!!!!

[beeznest]

I'm so glad I was alive when songs like this topped the charts..long live the 80's

[ATLLocdDiva]

Wow!! Brought back so many fun great memories during my teenage yrs. My bestfriend and I save this song to a cassette tape recorder. We played this song over and over so much just to learn the words that eventually the tape got tangled in the recorder and broke😮😂. Fun memories❤. My bestfriend Shawn passed away May, 25 2021 at a young 47 yros. Grief and depression hit me HARD! I miss her much til this very day 😢. My life is not the same without her. She like my only sister. Thank you for this opportunity to smile, and laugh, while reminiscencing about the good ole days with my Bestfriend. I miss her soooo much like no words could Ever describe this hole in my soul but the memories like this song are Epic and timeless 😊😢❤❤❤❤

[ChachaChapati]

One of the best beats ever; no wonder it's been sampled constantly.

[abdul-rahmanwashington]

Genius of Ashanti’s producer to add the guitar riffs to “only you.” This song has to be one of the most sampled.

[raymondlopez]

I like how the woman's voice is, she sounds hurt but filled with love!

[dogecoinbrothermouzone]

TAKES ME BACK TO CHILDHOOD IN THE 80s 💯💯🤞🏿

[tameramares]

Nothing beats our '80's music...👍💜

[michellecastro]

There no way of explaining how I feel when I hear this song and music of these days no matter how hard I try. I can smell the air, the perfume i wore, i can smell the time. The feeling is overwhelming guess cause I cant get back to them days no matter how much i talk about them or play the music. It makes me feel kinda of sad in a warm way. It takes me back, I can actually feel what i was feeling those days when i hear this music and its gets to me cause I feel those days like i was there and i feel happy but then a sadness hits me cause im not there. So yes, 4 sure, dont 4get to pick me up when your time machine is done.... I will be waiting.
