She was just sixteen, she was so sweet and clean She walked just like she know where she'd been. She set my blood on fire, I said Are you for hire? That's when she turned on me and screamed:
That ain't no way to treat a lady, That ain't no way to treat a lady.
She had a Southern smile, had a New York style, I couldn't let her get away. She was the girl of my dreams, and because I was mean, I had to listen to her say
That ain't no way to treat a lady, That ain't no way to treat a lady.
I had to have her bad, but she left me mad; that ain't the way it should be. I'm gonna find that girl, take her around the world, I'm gonna love her 'till she screams:
That ain't no way to treat a lady, That ain't no way to treat a lady.
