if you treat someone right

if you treat someone right

you won't get hurt in the end

if you treat someone right

you won't get hurt in the end

so many times i've heard this before

so many times i've been down on the floor

if you treat someone right

you can get hurt in the end

if you love your best friend

one day he may say goodbye

and the tears may fall from your sad eyes

he may laugh while you cry

so many times i've seen it before

so many times i've been down on the floor

if you treat someone right

you can get hurt in the end

just to see if you've got a friend

who'll stick with you till the end

yes but he'll soon leave you again

when you run out of money to lend

so if you treat someone right

you can get hurt in the end

so many times i've seen it before

so many times i've been down on the floor

if you treat someone right

you can get hurt in the end

when the time comes to cry

will someone be there by your side

and when tears fall like rain from your eyes

will someone be there to wipe 'em dry

yes my friend i've seen it before

so many times i've been down on the floor

if you treat someone right

you can get hurt in the end

if you treat someone right

you can get hurt in the end

if you treat someone right

in the end

if you treat someone right

come on and

you've got to

if you want to

treat

you got to

if you want to

yeah
