Treat Me Right
All Ends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you think of me whenever I'm gone and every time it's hard..
*chorus*
I need you to stay just look inside your heart and I know you will find a reason
Not to leave us behind and give me all your love
You tell me not to be scared that everything's ok but what about when I'm gone
And everytime it's hard..
*chorus*
I know you don't wanna hurt me but I can't tell you how
I'd react if I knew
That you've been seeing somebody else when I wasn't there
*chorus*
The lyrics to All Ends's song "Treat Me Right" portray a sense of insecurity and a need for assurance within a relationship. The singer implores their partner to be truthful and not hide behind lies.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of staying together and giving all of their love to each other, perhaps as a way to counteract the singer's fears and doubts.
