Lyrics
HE COULDN’T TREAT HIS LADY RIGHT
Verse 1
I’m going to sleep like a baby oh so peacefully tonight,
There’s a weight off my aching shoulders, what I’ve done is right,
Even though it nearly broke me, it was what I had to do,
I told the boy/man I used to love…….I told him we are through.
Verse 2
I’m going to sleep oh so soundly now that I have stood my ground,
After all that’s been said and done, my dignity I’ve found,
There was something deep inside me gave me strength to break away,
And I left the boy I used to love…I left him today.
Chorus
Fate lent a helping hand, the love we had was gone,
Leaving it hard to carry on,
And he’ll soon be out my mind, now he’s out of sight
‘Cause he couldn’t treat his lady right.
Verse 3
I’m going to sleep like a baby oh so peacefully tonight,
There’s a weight off my aching shoulders, what I’ve done is right,
Even though it nearly broke me, it was what I had to do,
I told the boy I used to love…….I told him we are through.
Chorus
Fate lent a helping hand, the love we had was gone,
Leaving it hard to carry on,
And he’ll soon be out my mind, now he’s out of sight
‘Cause he……couldn’t treat his lady right.
Yes, he’ll soon be out my mind, now he’s out of sight
‘Cause he……couldn’t treat his lady right.
EXTRA LYRICS/BRIDGE OR WHATEVER
There’ll be no more fighting, no more suffering fools lightly,
I can now hold my head up high,
No more forgiving, there’ll be nothing to forgive,
I now have a better life to live.
ALTERNATE/MORE POWERFUL CHORUS
I finally had the strength, the strength to fly away,
Courage to face a brand new day,
And he’ll soon be out my mind, now he’s out of sight
‘Cause he……couldn’t treat his lady right.
NEW VERSE 3 (instead of the repeat)
I’m going to sleep on my own tonight, with no bad wake up call,
Things are going to be allright, I’ve risen from my fall,
No tears to be shed, my head is clear of all the pain,
And I’ll never ever let anyone, be cruel to me again.
