Patti Rothberg - Treat Me Like Dirt Lyrics

You stay away from me because you know IÂÂÂÂÂ'm good for you
And you are masochistic too
And the reason I want you so much
Is ‘cause I know youÂÂÂÂÂ're no good for me
So together we are perfect, donÂÂÂÂÂ't you see?

IÂÂÂÂÂ'm the one you want and youÂÂÂÂÂ're so close I try to flaunt it
But you pretend not to notice, yeah I know youÂÂÂÂÂ're beinÂÂÂÂÂ' bogus
When you flirt with other women and I know I could be swimminÂÂÂÂÂ' in your sea

Chorus:
I could be so jealous of someone like me
Someone has it all, yet they just donÂÂÂÂÂ't see
I shut out acceptance so I wonÂÂÂÂÂ't get hurt
And move on to the next one, who will treat me like dirt!
Treat me like dirt X2

Standing at the threshold of another bad obsession
Yeah too bad itÂÂÂÂÂ's with a person who could never treat me worse
Than how the way you treated me when I was staring at the backside of your neck

I was hopinÂÂÂÂÂ' soon youÂÂÂÂÂ'd turn around and look me over
Up & down, my heart was racinÂÂÂÂÂ'
‘Cause I know I couldnÂÂÂÂÂ't face you after giving you my heart and soul
And giving you the body of my mind

Chorus

If I had a dollar every minute every hour
That I spent obsessing madly how you treated me so badly
And how badly that I wanted you the night you left me outside in the cold
But the thing that really gets me is the way you walk right past me
Yes youÂÂÂÂÂ're talking to some other and pretending sheÂÂÂÂÂ's your lover
Just to get me turning green inside, like being seen with me would be a crime

Chorus

4:30 in the morning, pickinÂÂÂÂÂ' up the phone IÂÂÂÂÂ'm yawninÂÂÂÂÂ'
Just awakened at that minute from a dream that had you in it
I can still hear your sweet talkinÂÂÂÂÂ', but the next day youÂÂÂÂÂ'd be walkinÂÂÂÂÂ' out on me

Someday soon I know it, maybe in December snow
IÂÂÂÂÂ'm gonna get you all alone and take you to a place IÂÂÂÂÂ've shown
To no one else in this great world, yes the place that you will see me as your girl

Chorus

Treat me like dirt
