Treat Me Bad
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I have lost some time but I have won
And if you make it through
You know you've just begun

The winter cold is coming
And the fire will soon be burning

So will you treat me well
Oh, will you treat me well?

And I am asking will you save a place for me
To rest beside your heart
And feel I'm free
Now what good does feeling strong do
When I am here without you?





So will you treat me well
Oh well, will you treat me well?

Finally found it! I had this 45rpm way back in the 60's and it was one of my favorite. And after all these years, it has not lost the sound (guitar chords) that really got me hooked. Thanks for posting it here.

the verses on a very bright fender are G7th - F7th (slide the F7th up to the G7th with the emphasis on the G7th) underneath is a Gmaj on acoustic guitar. the opening is an Fmaj - very bright and compressed. And no, it's not out of tune, it's just the sound you get on barred 7ths moving up a tone from F7th to G7th. Raunchy.
