Treat Her Right
Roy Buchanan Lyrics

I'm wanna tell you a story
That every man oughta know
If you want some good lovin'
You gotta start real slow
She won't love you tonight, now mama
If you don't treat her right

Got to squeeze her real gentle
Got to make her feel good
Now show her that you love her

Like you know you should
She's gonna love you tonight, now man
You gotta treat her right

Hey! Hey! Hey!

If you practice my method
Just as hard as you can
Finally get some good lovin', like a natural man
She's gonna love you tonight, now boy
You gotta treat her right

Hey! Hey! Hey!
