are supposed to treat each other
to walk up to me and ask me
If I could help them with their love affairs
Well I'm no authority on love
and I never claimed to be
But this woman that I met at this gas station
Keeps coming back to my mind
and I could see that she was hurt.
She said to me, she said, Mr. Lyon,
You know, he used to hold me tenderly
but now he don't do that no more.
She said, he just loves me now.
If I like it, it's all right,
that's all right with him too.
She says, there are two things
before you leave here to night.
She said, I want you to give me your
autograph on this piece of paper.
And then tell me something
that I could go home and do
to make him treat me a little bit better.
And I say to her, Miss Lee,
and you tell your man that I said,
hold you like he means it
tell him to put some feeling in it
He's got to love you, love you right
So you can't start sleeping at night
He's gotta start coming home
And making sure, making, making sure
And if you ever feel blue
he's got to notice what to do
You've gotta tell him that I say
He's gonna take you out every morning
And give you a little bit of money
So you can have some change to spare
And instead of complimenting Mary Lou
He's got to start complimenting,
Tell him I say that's the way
A man is supposed to make
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
He's got her stuck on the room
And if you ever feelin' blue
He's got to know just what to do
That's the way a man is supposed
He's got to love you, love you, love you
