Treat Me Like Dirt

You stay away from me
Because you know I'm good for you
And you are masochistic too

The reason I want you so much
Is 'cause I know you're no good for me
So together we are perfect, dont'cha see?

I'm the one you want
When you're so close, I try to flaunt it
But you pretend not to notice

Yet I know you're being bogus
When you flirt with other women
And I know I could be swimmin' in your sea

I could be so jealous of someone like me
Someone's got it all, yet they just don't see
I shut out acceptance, so I won't get hurt
And move on to the next one who will

Treat me like dirt
Treat me like dirt
Treat me like dirt

Standing at the threshold of another bad obsession
Yeah, too bad it'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 hoping, soon you'd turn around
And look me over, up and down

My heart was racing 'cause I knew
I couldn't face you after giving you my heart and soul
And giving you the body of my mind

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, you're talking to some other and pretending she's your lover
Just to get me turnin' green inside
Like bein' seen with me would be a crime

I could be so jealous of someone like me
Someone's got it all, yet they just don't see
I shut out acceptance, so I won't get hurt
And move on to the next one who will

Treat me like dirt
Treat me like dirt
Treat me like dirt

4:30 in the morning, pickin' up the phone I'm yawning
Just awakened at the minute from a dream that had you in it
I can still hear your sweet talking
But the next day you'd be walking out on me

Some day soon I know it, maybe, in December snow
I'm gonna get you all alone and take you to a place
I've shown to no one else in this great world
Yes, the place where you will see me as you girl
