You mistreat me baby I can't see no reason why You know that i'd kill for you And I'm not afraid to die. But you treat me like a stepchild Oh lord, am i your stepchild? I wanna turn my back an' run away from you But oh i just can't let you be. I get nervous in your company My knees get weak Both my eyes get misty And my tongue can't speak. You treat me like a stepchild Oh lord, am i your stepchild? I wanna turn my back an' run away from you But you know i can't let you be. You know that i never loved you, honey A nervous wreck This way's gonna be like you hold me Like a noose around my neck. You treat me like a stepchild Like a stepchild I want to turn my back an' run away But you know i can't let you be. You treat me like a stepchild Oh lord, am I your stepchild? I want to turn my back an' run away from you But you know i just can't let you be.
