[Verse 1]
The way you treated me
Your heart spells vacancy
So wrongly advertised was a cruel thing
A plate of foolish fish
In a vacancy
You turned 'em down to be a magnet on wire
[Chorus]
Well I know it girl, that I could treat you well
But she don't wanna be treated no good now
I can't tell the truth, and it hurts like hell
Well, I don't want to be misunderstood now
[Verse 2]
The way you treated me
My heart's never stayed eased
The lovesick worlds of broken lovеrs
[Chorus]
Well I know it girl, that I could treat you well
But shе don't wanna be treated no good now
I can't tell the truth, and it hurts like hell
Well, I don't want to be misunderstood now
[Bridge]
I realize now it's not your fault
Nature's cruel, I've always felt
Unrequited from the start
Was not faded, broke my heart
[Chorus]
Well I know it girl, that I could treat you well
But she don't wanna be treated no good now
So I sold to her the sacred things that we sell
And if that's the price of love
Darling what the hell
