Don't Trick Me, Treat Me

(Album: Love Connection - 1978)

I know you love me, and you don't wanna see me unhappy
Now stop acting like a child, 'cause a woman is serious
When she's in love, and not so proud

Oh... (don't trick me, treat me, baby)
Don't pretend you love me, baby
(Don't trick me, treat me, baby)
When I really believe that you do, baby
(Don't trick me, treat me) whatever you want, darling
(Stop acting uptight) I'm gonna give to you

Now calm yourself down, let's get to the root of the problem
'Cause whatever it is, I know we can solve 'em
It matters not to love you, oh baby

(Don't trick me, treat me, baby)
Give it all you got, baby
(Don't trick me, treat me, baby)
If you respect it, give a lot
(Don't trick me, treat me)
(Stop acting uptight) oh... treat me fair, treat me fair

Now, don't you understand (don't you understand)
I wanna make love to you (I wanna, I wanna make love to you)
You said it was alright, baby (said it was alright)
Now you're holding back, what do you expect me to do?
You're acting so uptight, oh baby...

(Don't trick me, treat me, baby) don't trick me, baby
(Don't trick me, treat me, baby) stop acting like a child
(Don't trick me, treat me, stop acting uptight)
Oh, don't pretend you love me, baby
(Don't trick me, treat me, baby)
When I really, really, really believe you do
(Don't trick me, treat me, baby) sure enough
(Don't trick me, treat me, stop acting uptight)
Oh, stop acting uptight, let loose
(Don't trick me, treat me, baby) it might backfire one day, baby
(Don't trick me, treat me, baby)
You might trick your doggone self, oh baby
(Don't trick me, treat me, stop acting uptight)
Don't trick me, treat me, treat me like a doggone man, baby
(Don't trick me, treat me, baby)
Come right over here and put your arms around me, darling
(Don't trick me, treat me) I'm tired of just fooling around, baby
(Don't trick me, treat me, stop acting uptight)
I ain't no kid no more, oh! Oh, don't trick me!

(Marvin... you're gonna change my mind)
Now let me tell you something, you might not understand me
(I said don't) (don't trick me, treat me)
(Please don't) (don't trick me, treat me)
(I said don't) (don't trick me, treat me) I wanna make love to you
(Please don't) (don't trick me, treat me)
(I said don't) If it's alright with you, baby
Haha, and it'd better be
(Marvin...) What do you expect me to do, baby?
(I said don't) When you're acting so doggone uptight
(I said don't) You gotta let go sometimes, baby
(I said don't) (don't trick me, treat me)
And make love all night, and all day, heh
(I said, please) (don't trick me, treat me)
(I said don't) (don't trick me, treat me) Hey baby
(Oh, please don't) (don't trick me, treat me)
I don't wanna sound like I'm kinda talking to myself now
(I said don't) I'm talking to you, hold me tight sometime
Let me almost blow your mind, baby
(I said don't) Stop acting like a doggone child
(I said don't) (don't trick me, treat me) Ain't no time to fake it
(I said don't) (don't trick me, treat me)
(Oh, please don't) (don't trick me, treat me) Oh baby, baby
(I said don't) (don't trick me, treat me) I wanna make love to you
(I said don't) Don't pretend you don't love me, darling...
