Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady - Helen Reddy/Vikki Carr

 
Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady
I guess it was yourself you were involved with,
I would've sworn it was me.
I might've found out sooner if you'd only let me 
close enough to see.

That ain't no way to treat a lady no way 
to treat your baby, your woman, your friend.
That ain't no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.

I was only being a picture 
with all the colors I know.
While you were busy looking into 
wide blue mirrors and lovin' the show.

That ain't no way to treat a lady no way 
to treat your baby, your woman, your friend.
That ain't no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.

There's a funny kind of consolation keeping me sane.
And I'd really like to share it call on deep in my brain.
To see the times you never felt me loving you or needing you
So leavin' you now you still won't know how
to free me from the pain.

I was looking out for my happiness
while you were looking within.
And before you know your own reflection
always starts to tire. It's happened again.

That ain't no way to treat a lady no way 
to treat your baby, your woman, your friend.
That ain't no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.
