11 Apr 06 - 06:45 PM (#1715554) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: John Hartford-Why do you treat me... From: Jim Dixon I think the John Hartford song you want is called WHY DO YOU DO ME LIKE YOU DO? It's on his album "RCA Country Legends," Buddha CD 99837, 2001. Although other people have recorded various songs with the same title (or very similar titles), I think John Hartford is the only one who recorded this one, which he wrote. Here are a couple of excerpts taken from sound samples: Now you've filled up my ears and knocked me down on the floor You've cut out my tongue and left me … …that soap-opera head, 'Cause one o' these days I'm gonna wake up dead. Why do you do me like you do? Why do you do me like you do? Have mercy on me! Why do you do me like you do When you know the only time I ever ran around on you Was in your dreams? |

You hit me in the face in the middle of the night. I try to sleep while you want to fight, And it's just in your mind that I didn't do right. Why do you do me like you do? CHORUS: Why do you do me like you do? Have mercy on me! Why do you do me like you do, When you know the only time I ever ran around on you Was in your dreams? 2. You'd better lay off all that coffee 'fore you climb into bed, Or whatever's been a-givin you that soap-op'ra head, 'Cause one o' these days I'm gonna wake up dead. Why do you do me like you do? CHORUS 3. Now you filled up my ears and knocked me down on the floor. You've cut out my tongue an' left me tired an' sore. When I turn off the light, you think I'm askin' for more. Why do you do me like you do? CHORUS |
