I never thought you'd hurt me   I guess you live and learn   That when you're playin' with fire you're bound to get burned   I've been mistreated, I've been used before   I get kicked in the face still I come back for more      But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain   We can pick up the pieces and start it all again   Let's just get back to the way it was before   Oh, girl I can't take anymore      Chorus:   Baby, don't treat me bad   Well, this could be the best thing that you'll ever have   Baby, don't treat me bad   (Well) you can do anything, but baby, don't treat me bad   Oh, don't treat me bad      I gave it everything, but you threw it all away   I can't take anymore of these games that you play   I've been through heartache and I've been through pain   And it's hard to believe you still treat me this way      But I won't cry no more 'cause the tears are all in vain   We can pick up the pieces and start it all again   Let's just get back to the way it was before   Oh, girl I can't take anymore      Chorus      Oh girl, I can't take anymore, oh yeah, now listen to me      Chorus
