Lyrics for That Ain't the Way to Do It

Hey baby, you ain't treating me right You go off everyday and don't come home til night That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to get along Well I'm pickin' you up and takin' you to my house Now you're up and you're treating me like a mouse That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to get along Well I takin' you into my house and did everything I could You told everybody in the neighborhood That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to get along Well if you got a little woman and she won't treat you right Beat her three times a day and whoop her a little at night That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to do it That ain't the way to get along
