Well the truth
Well it hurts to say
I'm gonna pack up my bags and I'm gonna go away
I'm gonna split
I can't stand it
I'm gonna giving it up and quit
And ain't never coming back
But before I get going
I got to say
I know you use to love me
But that was yesterday
And the truth. I won't fight it
When the love stop burning
And you got to do what's right

Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more
(No good, no more)
Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more

Now the truth
It hurt to say
I'm gonna pack up my bags
And I'm gonna go away
I'm going to split
I can't stand it
I'm going giving it up and quitting
And ain't never coming back
But before I get going
I got to say
I know you use to love me
But that was yesterday
And the truth
I won't fight it
When the love stop burning
And you got to do what's right

But before I get going
And I got to say
There was a time baby when you
Use to shake it for me me but now
All you do is you treat me cold
Ain't gonna take it no more
Gonna walk out the door

Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more
(No good, no more)
Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more

I wake up blue
Almost every night
And I'm hurting so bad
'Cause you don't treat me right
You know I hate to go
But you're so mean to me baby

Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more
(No good, no more)
Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more

Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more
(No good, no more)
Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more

Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more
(No good, no more)
Lover, lover, lover
You don't treat me no good no more
