It's Hard to Be Mistreated
 

Well it's hard to be mistreated : when you ain't done nothing wrong
And you caught your lover‑man : when you can't keep him at home

Now I'm going to get myself a single man : and leave these married mens alone
They ain't nothing but a wad of trouble : when they laying up in your arms

I need someone to love me : but someone to call my own
I'm tired of loving these married men : can say I know their wives got them and gone

Well I'm getting so tired : staying home all by myself
And every man I fall in love with : he loving someone else

But I tried to be nice : tried to be nice and kind
But every man I love : don't seem like he want to pay me no mind
