All my friends had to ask me
Something they didn't understand
How I get all the women in the palm of my hand
I told them treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady, she'll give in to you
Lord, you can seek, you know what I mean

I know you've heard
That the woman
Soon takes advantage of you
Let me tell you
My friend
There just ain't no substitute
So, you ought to
Treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady
She'll give in to you
Lord, you can seek, you know what I mean

Oh, you've got to love her, tease her
But most of all you've got to please her
You've got to hold her, and want her
And make her feel you'll always need her
You know a woman is sentimental and so easy to upset
So make her feel that she's for real
And she'll give you happiness
Woah, oh, oh, strange as it seems
You know you can't treat a woman mean

So my friend there you have it
I said it's the easy simple way
If you fail to do this
Don't blame her if she looks my way
'Cause I'm gonna treat her like a lady
So affectionately
I'm gonna treat her like a lady
She'll give in to me
Lord, you can seek, you know what I mean

Oh, you've gotta treat her like a lady
Do the best you can do
You gotta treat her like a lady
