[Intro]
Well
Mm-hmm, listen

[Verse 1]
When I was up
You would always come around
But when I needed a friend
Oh, you could never be found

[Chorus]
I got a hole
Where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no
The way you treated me

[Verse 2]
When time was good, Lord
All your loving was the same
But when the going got rough
You hardly knew my name

[Chorus]
You locked me out
And you threw away the key
I wouldn't treat a dog, oh my Lord
The way you treated me
[Bridge]
Got me crying for a love that I needed
Begging like a dog for a bone
Although I spent all of my time pleading
You turned your back, and you leave me

[Verse 3]
One of these old days
Lord knows, and it's true
Just when you need me the most
I'll walk right out on you

[Chorus]
And you'll say
As you're begging down on your knees
Bobby, I wouldn't treat a dog
No, no, no, the way you treated me
The way you treated me

I wouldn't treat a dog, no, Lord
I wouldn't do it to you
I wouldn't treat a dog, no, no, Lord
The way you treated me

Oh, I wouldn't do it
I couldn't do it to you
I wouldn't do it, baby
No, no
