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 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 and start it all again Let's just get back to the way it was before Oh, girl I can't take anymore
Chorus: 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 anymore 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 and start it all again Let's just get back to the way it was before Oh, girl I can't take anymore
Chorus
Oh girl, I can't take anymore, oh yeah, now listen to me
