Said, you knocked me down
Yeah, yeah, kicked me around
Said, I'm the biggest fool
In this town

Said: "I'll do my best"
Oh, to treat me right
Said you goin' out
You stay out all night

Ain't that a funky way
To treat somebody?
(Funky way to treat you)
Ain't that a funky way
To treat somebody?
(Funky way to treat you)
Ain't that a funky way
To treat a good loving
Sweet, loving girl like me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Yes, it is)
(Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is)
[x2]

Said, I fix your meals
I even clean your clothes
So, won't you take a notice, boy?
Or you'll be out that door

I'm working hard
And bring you my pay
See, you don't wanna see me
No more, until next payday

Ain't that a funky way
To treat somebody?
(Funky way to treat you)
Ain't that a funky way
To treat somebody?
(Funky way to treat you)
Ain't that a funky way
To treat a good loving
Sweet, loving girl like me?
Yeah, yeah

(Yes, it is)
(Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is)

Oh, oh, oh

It's a crying shame
The way you dogged me around
And I ain't got the nerve
To put you down

When I got home
I knocked on my door
And you try to tell me
I don't live here no more

Ain't that a funky way
To treat somebody
(Funky way to treat you)
Ain't that a funky way
To treat somebody
(Funky way to treat you)
Ain't that a funky way
To treat a good loving
Sweet, loving girl like me
Yeah, oh

(Yes, it is)
(Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is)
[x2]

Ain't that a funky way
To treat somebody?
(Funky way to treat you)
Hey, ain't that a funky way
(Funky way to treat you)
Oh, oh, oh
(Funky way to treat you)
(Yes it is)
(Funky way to treat you)
Yeah, yeah
(Yes it is)
(Funky way to treat you)
(Yes it is)
(Funky way to treat you)
