"I've Been Mistreated And I Don't Like It"

Oh, there is somethin' I can't understand
Why a good woman gets a no-good man
I'm gonna leave here, and the time ain't long
Because my man has done me wrong

I've been mistreated and I don't like it
There's no use to say I do
I've been mistreated and I don't like it
So I must tell to you

Once upon a time I stood for all he did
Those days are gone, believe me kid
I've been mistreated and I don't like it
There's no use to say I do

Once upon a time I stood for all he did
Those days are gone, believe me kid
I've been mistreated and I don't like it, Lord
No use to say I do, I mean
No use to say I do
