Treat Me Right
Indios Bravos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Treat me right, treat me good, treat me just as I treat you
Treat me right don't treat me wrong
I don't ask for nothin' more
'Cause I'm suffering when you leave me out on the open sea
When you turn back on me back on me
So treat me, treat me good
'Cause my heart is burning
I'm ready to do anything now for you
I guess you don' care 'cause there is no clue
From you to tell me what to do

Make me laugh make me cry
Let me think everythin' is all right
Count on me I'll count on you
I don' think it's hard to do
Cause I'm suffering when you leave me out on the open sea
When you turn back on me back on me
So treat me, treat me good
'Cause my heart is burning

I'm ready to do anything now for you




I guess you don't care 'cause there is no clue
From you to tell me what to do
