Can't you see he doesn't care   He likes to play with you that's all   He's waiting on someone else's call   He's playing it cool   Why's it so hard to reach you?   Why are you still out there   Beating your heart   Against the wall   Waiting for Jericho to fall   You hard headed fool   Didn't your mama teach you   Anything at all      You can't treat the wrong man right   Or change a devil to an angel overnight   He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite   You can't treat the wrong man right   You can't treat the right man wrong   When you're out on the town   Acting mean and head strong   He'll sit home and wait for you all night long   You can't treat the right man wrong      I heard it on the telephone   A woman was whispering in my ear   And though I was trying not to hear   The message came through   She was someone who knew you   I guess she told me everything   I wasn't listening anyway   I know she had a lot to say   But nothing was clear   I only remember her voice   Above the sound of the pinball   Saying to me      You can't treat the wrong man right   Or change a devil to an angel overnight   He'll steal all your love and, and fly by night   You can't treat the wrong man right   You can't treat the right man wrong   You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong   And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight   You can't treat the right man wrong   You can't treat the wrong man right
