She was just sixteen, she was so sweet and clean   She walked just like she know where she'd been   She set my blood on fire, I said, "Are you for hire?"   That's when she turned on me and screamed      "That ain't no way to treat a lady   That ain't no way to treat a lady"      She had a Southern smile, had a New York style   I couldn't let her get away   She was the girl of my dreams   And because I was mean, I had to listen to her say      "That ain't no way to treat a lady   That ain't no way to treat a lady"      I had to have her bad, but she left me mad   That ain't the way it should be   I'm gonna find that girl, take her around the world   I'm gonna love her 'til she screams      "That ain't no way to treat a lady   That ain't no way to treat a lady"   No that ain't no way      That ain't no way to treat a lady, a lady yeah   That ain't no way to treat a lady, to treat a lady   To treat a lady, to treat a lady
