Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady
Words & Music by Harriet Schock
Recorded by Helen Reddy, 1975 (#8)
C C/B Am7 Dm7 G7
I guess it was yourself you were involved with;
C C7 F Bb9
I would have sworn it was me.
C C/B
I might have found out sooner if
Am Am7/G F
You'd only let me close enough to see.
Refrain:
Dm7 G7 CM7
That ain't no way to treat a lady,
Am Dm7 G7 C C/B Am7 Am7/G
No way to treat your baby, your woman, your friend;
Dm7 G7 CM7 Am
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way --
Dm7 G7 C
But maybe it's a way for us to end.
C C/B Am7 Dm7 G7
I was only bein' a picture
C C7 F Bb9
With all the colors I know,
C C/B
While you were busy looking into
Am Am7/G F
Wide blue mirrors and lovin' the show.
Repeat Refrain:
Bridge:
Am Am+7 Am7 D9
There's a funny kind of consolation keepin' me sane,
G G/F# C Cm
And I'd really like to share it; crawl on deep in my brain.
G G/F# Em B+
You see, the time you never felt me lovin' you or needin' you
C Am D Am7 D G Am7 G/B
So leavin' you now you still won't know how to feel the pain
C C/B Am7 Dm7 G7
I was lookin' out for my happiness
C C7 F Bb9
While you were looking within
C C/B
And before you know your own reflection
Am Am7/G F
Always starts to tire you and it's happened again
Repeat Refrain:
