Oh no matter what you say baby
No matter what you do
The way you treat me baby
You know, is coming back home to you

And your crying won't help you baby
Oh, crying won't help you now
crying won't help you baby
'Cause you've been so mean to me

Oh, you must remember baby
No matter, matter where you go
Watch those seeds just scatter
'Cause you're gonna reap just what you sow

And your crying won't help you baby
Oh, crying won't help you now
Hey crying won't help you baby
'Cause you've been so mean to me, yes you have

Oh, just before I leave you woman
Just before I shake your hand
I'm going back to my woman
Gonna let you get you another man

And your crying won't help you baby
Hey, crying won't help you now
Yes, crying won't help you woman
Because you've been so mean to me

You've been mean
You've been mean
You've been mistreating me
You've been mean
You know you've been mean to me, baby
You know you've been mean

I am gonna let you comeback
To your used to be
Can I say it again
Mean
You've been mean
You've been mistreating me, woman
You just won't treat me right

Oh, you've been mean
Mean to me, baby
You've been mean
You know you've been so mean to me, woman

You ought to do a little better, baby
You ought to straighten up and fly right
You ought to do a little better, baby
You ought to straighten up and fly right

Yes, you just won't, you just won't
You know you won't, baby
You just won't treat me right, hey
