All my friends had to ask me
Something they didn't understand
Well, how I get all the women
In the palm of my hand
I told them, treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady
She'll give in to you
Oh Lord, now you can see
You know what I mean
I know you love her like a woman
And she'll soon take advantage of you
So let me tell you, my friend
That there ain't no substitute
You ought to treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady
She'll give in to you
Lord, now you see
You know what I mean
Oh, you've got to love her, tease her
But most of all you've got to please her
You've got to hold her, want her
And make her feel that you always need her
You know a woman is sentimental
And so easy to upset
So make her feel that she's for real
And she'll give you happiness
Oh, strange as it seems
You know you can't treat a woman mean
And so my friend, there you have it
It's the easy simple way
And if you fail to do this
Don't blame her if she looks my way
I'm gonna treat her like a lady
So affectionately
I'm gonna treat her like a lady
She'll give in to me
Oh Lord, now you can see
You know what I mean
You've gotta treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady
And she'll give in to you
Treat her like a lady
(Treat her like a)
Do the best you can do
(Lady)
You gotta treat her like a lady
She'll give in to you
