Treat Me Like Dirt Lyrics - Singles - Patti Rothberg

You stay away from me 

Because you know I'm good for you 

And you are masochistic too 

The reason I want you so much 

Is 'cause I know you're no good for me 

So together we are perfect, dont'cha see? 

I'm the one you want 

When you're so close, I try to flaunt it 

But you pretend not to notice 

Yet I know you're being bogus 

When you flirt with other women 

And I know I could be swimmin' in your sea 

I could be so jealous of someone like me 

Someone's got it all, yet they just don't see 

I shut out acceptance, so I won't get hurt 

And move on to the next one who will 

Treat me like dirt 

Treat me like dirt 

Treat me like dirt 

Standing at the threshold of another bad obsession 

Yeah, too bad it's with a person 

Who could never treat me 

Worse than how the way you treated me 

When I was staring at the backside of your neck 

I was hoping, soon you'd turn around 

And look me over, up and down 

My heart was racing 'cause I knew 

I couldn't face you after giving you my heart and soul 

And giving you the body of my mind 

If I had a dollar every minute, every hour that I spent 

Obsessing madly how you treated me so badly 

And how badly that I wanted you the night 

You left me outside in the cold 

But the thing that really gets me is the way you walk right past me 

Yes, you're talking to some other and pretending she's your lover 

Just to get me turnin' green inside 

Like bein' seen with me would be a crime 

I could be so jealous of someone like me 

Someone's got it all, yet they just don't see 

I shut out acceptance, so I won't get hurt 

And move on to the next one who will 

Treat me like dirt 

Treat me like dirt 

Treat me like dirt 

4:30 in the morning, pickin' up the phone I'm yawning 

Just awakened at the minute from a dream that had you in it 

I can still hear your sweet talking 

But the next day you'd be walking out on me 

Some day soon I know it, maybe, in December snow 

I'm gonna get you all alone and take you to a place 

I've shown to no one else in this great world 

Yes, the place where you will see me as you girl
