Babe, treat me right, baby, my, my, my, People tellin' me baby can't be satisfied; They try to worry me, baby, But they never hurt you in my eyes. Said, people worry I can't keep you satisfied. Let me tell you, baby, You ain't nothin' but a two-bit, no good jive. Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can, Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man; I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago, I wouldn't be here with all my troubles Down on this killin' floor. Squeeze me, baby, till the juice runs down my leg, Squeeze me, baby, till the juice runs down my leg; The way you squeeze my lemon, I almost fall right out of bed. -- Updated July , 1999
