When I was up You would always come around But 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 The way you treated me When times were good All yourlovin'was the same But when the going got rough You hardly knew my name You locked me out and you threw away the key I wouldn't treat a dog, no my Lord The way you treated me Got me cryin' for the lovin' I needed Beggin' like a dog for a bone And although I spend all my time pleading Turn your back and you'll leave me one of these old days Lord knows that it's true Just when you need me the most I'll walk right out on you Then you'll say As you beggin'down on your knees I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no, no, The way you treated me The way you treated me I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me I wouldn't do it - I wouldn't do it I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me I wouldn't do it - I wouldn't do it
