The Posies - Could He Treat You Better? lyrics

Could he treat you better, baby? Tell it to me, do When he gives you freedoms Are you finding they're too few? Isn't he still willing, child To let you act like you're used to? If he answers you wrong, baby Make sure that he's gone By the next time I come through Did he take your money? Did he turn away all your friends? Did he make you look cheap and sleazy to please the eyes of his businessmen? Did he take your honor and make you trade it in for pride? Oh sister be strong, you just keep on holding on But don't you stay on as his bride One day you're gonna die Someone will ask you who did you love? You can say you tried your best You're gonna get your sweet rest He can't ever say enough Is it the kind of house now Where everybody's choosing sides? In a corner with your little boys and your little girls Wondering if you can survive? Is there someone better, to walk through this world with? Oh lady be good, oh lord act now as you should And will you make that judgement swift? One day you're gonna die Someone will ask you who did you love? One day he's gonna die Sooner or later he's gonna say "Remember me well 'cause I've bought my place in hell And I've got so much left to pay"
