[Verse 1]
Why baby why don't you treat me (why, baby, why)
Like you used to do? (why, baby, why)
Why, baby, baby don't you need me (why, baby, why)
Like I'm needin' you?

[Verse 2]
If you need love and affection (why, baby, why)
Come to my lovin' arms (why, baby, why)
I'll be your shield and protection (why, baby, why)
I won't do you no harm

[Bridge]
There will be no trouble and strife
I'll be your slave the rest of my life
I offer you my heart and soul
Wrapped up in a band of gold

[Verse 3]
Why, baby, why do you tease me? (why, baby, why)
Won't you please be fair? (why, baby, why)
Why, baby, why won't you please me (why, baby, why)
When you know you care?

[Bridge]
There will be no trouble and strife
I'll be your slave the rest of my life
I offer you my heart and soul
Wrapped up in a band of gold
[Verse 3]
Why, baby, why do you tease me? (why, baby, why)
Won't you please be fair? (why, baby, why)
Why, baby, why won't you please me (why, baby, why)
When you know you care?

[Outro]
When you know you care
When you know you care
