Well the truth,
Well it hurts to say,
I'm gonna pack up my bags
And I'm gonna go away
I'm gonna split
I can't stand it
I'm gonna give it up and quit
Ain't never comin' back
Girl but before I get to go and I got to say
I know you used to love me
But that was yesterday
And the truth I won't fight it
When the love starts burnin' you got to do what's right

Whoa lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more
Whoa lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more

Well the truth,
Yeah it hurts to say,
I'm gonna pack up my bags
And I'm gonna go away
I'm gonna split
I can't stand it
I'm gonna give it up and quit
Ain't never comin' back
Girl but before I get to go and I got to say
There was a time oh woman
When you used to shake it for me
Now all you do is just treat me cold
Ain't gonna take it no more
Gonna walk out the door

Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more,
No good no more, more, more
Lover lover lover
You don't treat me no good no more

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well I wait up for you almost every night
And I'm hurtin' so bad cause you don't treat me right
Oh woman oh woman you know I love you so but
You're so mean to me baby I'm walkin' out the door

Lover oh lover
Yeah, yeah
No good no more, more, more

I know you used to love me in every way,
But now I'm givin' it up
And I'm tired of cryin' babe
I can't stand it no longer
It hurts me to say,
But I'm packin' up my bags and goin' far away

Lover, oh lover, yeah, yeah
Lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more
Lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more
Lover, lover, lover,
You don't treat me no good no more




Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more

I think the upbeat tone of this song is because he is reclaiming his self-respect and he's happy to be done with a person who doesn't love or respect him!

@mystify4149

I agree

@genesis7552003

U no..my wife of 28 yrs still puts me down..she makes me feel worthless like I never did anything good..but I'm still here , trying to make it wrk?????!!!! I'm 45 man..and I'm tired of it..I don't want to leave because people will say I'm a coward, not taking care of my family... so I'm stuck, between being a good guy or a waste...she's actually been better now...I don't no WY... it's wen she drinks she puts me down...wen she sober, she freaking loves me.....I haven't had sex in months..... I'm ready to leave...I want touch,I linger for tough..I cannot live like this...I need a woman who loves and cares for me... that's all I want...I am not a cheater...I did in my younger days,of course, but I was naive, now I'm older....I just want a good woman to grow old with.......

@abadtarkovplayer6579

@@genesis7552003 My guy im married as well. Someone who loves you wouldn't treat you like that. If you want to save the relationship I would try couples counseling. If that doesn't work or even worse she won't even consider it. Then you have to do whats best for your self. You only have this one go at life. Don't spend it being miserable.

@msims8183

Absolutely 💯 right

@chardenner3147

This song got me through a horrible, ugly divorce some years ago. I still listen to it now, because I just LOVE that voice!

@1hemi843

That’s awesome that you’d bettered yourself and look back at those moments including this song as joy for you building stuff yourself. We very ugly for me as well. I look back knowing I was strong with what little I had that she didn’t take. Live on brother!
