Treat Your Man a Little Bit Better
Revitalize Love: A Call to Cherish and Smile
Lyrics
You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better (A little bit better)
You should improve how you treat your partner
You better wear a smile when I come home and not a frown (Not a frown)
Upon my return, greet me positively
You better give me everything I need in the line a lovin'
Provide all the aspects of affection I require
Or there'll be a day when your sweet little daddy won't be around
Otherwise, there might come a time when I'm not there
Well, I work all day and half of the night just to please my little woman
I put in significant effort to satisfy my partner
And when I come home I find the hourse turned upside down
Returning home to a chaotic environment
I better find you there in bed asleep just like I left you
Expectation of finding you peacefully asleep
And if I ain't mistaken there's a dirty little mouse been messin' around
There might be unwelcome intrusions when I'm absent
You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better (A little bit better)
Repeated emphasis on improving treatment
You better wear a smile when I come home and not a frown (Not a frown)
Reiterating the desire for a positive reception
You better give me everything I need in the line of lovin'
Meeting all my emotional and physical needs
Or there'll be a day when your sweet little daddy won't be around
Warning of a potential absence if improvements aren't made
Well, you was so nice and sweet and cute dear when I met you
Initial impression of partner as sweet and kind
You was daddy's sweet little pet, so true and kind
Partner being adored and cherished initially
Ever since I brought you to this mean, old dirty city
Struggle after relocating to an unfavorable place
Well it seems to me everybody pets you all the time
Observation of others taking advantage of partner
You better start to treatin' your man a little bit better (A little bit better)
Repeated plea for improved treatment
You better wear a smile when I come home and not a frown (Not a frown)
Consistent desire for a positive demeanor upon return
You better give me everything I need in the line a lovin'
Stressing the need for comprehensive affection
Or there'll be a day when your sweet little daddy won't be around
Reiteration of potential absence due to unmet needs
There gonna come a day when your long legged guitar picker won't be around
Warning of the absence of a musician/romantic interest
Yeah
Expression of agreement or confirmation
Yeah...
Reiteration of agreement or confirmation
