Treat Me Bad
Mad Heads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better be the one
That I hate, that I'm angry with
You better treat me mean
You better show your sting
Better hurt, better vex, better tease
But you never act this way
You don't give me a cause to go
Treat me bad and treat me cruel
Let me be a victim
Let me feel like a fool
Treat me bad and don't be nice
I beg you baby give me chance
To break these ties
It's been a long long time
Together are you and I
This is love... Is it love... What is love?
What I felt and what I feel
Was it real and is it real
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I look inside my heart
And I cannot leave
But going on is also hard
The lyrics to Mad Heads’ song “Treat Me Bad” describe a complicated and conflicted relationship. The singer is pleading with their partner to treat them poorly, to give them a reason to leave, to hurt them so badly that they can finally break free. They’re stuck in a love that they’re not sure is even real, and they can’t seem to find a way out. Despite the fact that their partner treats them well, they feel trapped and unable to leave, desperate for a way to escape.
The song is about the complexity of relationships and the difficulty of ending them, even when they’re not working. It explores the idea of self-sabotage and the desire to be hurt, which can be a common pattern in people who have been hurt or abused in the past. It’s a powerful and emotional message that resonates with anyone who has ever found themselves trapped in a toxic or unfulfilling relationship.

You better treat me wrong
I want you to treat me badly
You better be the one
I want you to be the person who mistreats me
That I hate, that I'm angry with
I need to despise you and be furious with you
You better treat me mean
I want you to be harsh with me
You better show your sting
I want you to demonstrate your cruelty
Better hurt, better vex, better tease
I want you to inflict pain, harass, and provoke me
But you never act this way
You don't behave like I want you to
You don't give me a cause to go
You don't provide me with a reason to leave you
But it's so hard to stay
However, it's difficult to remain in this relationship
Treat me bad and treat me cruel
So please treat me in a terrible and inhumane manner
Let me be a victim
Make me vulnerable and helpless
Let me feel like a fool
Make me feel stupid and humiliated
Treat me bad and don't be nice
I want you to be mean to me and not exhibit kindness
I beg you baby give me chance
I implore you to give me the opportunity to sever our ties
To break these ties
So we can end our relationship
It's been a long long time
We've been together for a significant amount of time
Together are you and I
We are a couple
This is love... Is it love... What is love?
I'm uncertain about whether this is love, what love is, and whether we are experiencing it
What I felt and what I feel
I am unsure if my emotions for you are genuine
Was it real and is it real
I'm questioning whether my past and current feelings are authentic
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I have no idea how to answer these questions
I look inside my heart
I introspect and examine the feelings I have for you
And I cannot leave
I find it difficult to leave you
But going on is also hard
However, continuing the relationship is just as challenging
