Funky Way

[Verse 1]
Say you knock me down (Ooh)
Girl, you kick me around (Ooh)
You say I'm the biggest fool (Ooh)
In this here town (Ooh)
Say I’m doing my best now (Ooh)
Tryna treat ya right (Ooh)
And then, you go out, girl (Ooh)
Stay out all night!

[Chorus]
Ain't that a funky way to treat somebody?
(A funky way to treat me...)
Ain't that a funky way to treat me?
(A funky way to treat me...)
Ain’t that a funky way to treat me
Good lovin', sweet lovin', man like me
(Yes, it is, yes, it is, yes, it is.. funky way to treat me...)

[Verse 2]
(Ooh)
Say I fix your meals (Ooh)
And I clean your clothes (Ooh)
And when you take a notion, girl (Ooh)
You throw me out doors (Out in the cold)
I work hard
Bring you all of my pay (Ooh)
And then you don't see me no more (Ooh)
Til next payday

[Chorus]
Ain't that a funky way to treat somebody?
(A funky way to treat me...)
Ain't that a funky way to treat me?
(A funky way to treat me...)
Ain't that a funky way to treat me
Good lovin', sweet lovin’, man like me
(Yes, it is, yes, it is, yes, it is)
Alright (A funky way to treat me...)
Uh huh...

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
(Ooh)
It’s a cryin' shame (Ooh)
The way she dog me around (Ooh)
And, I ain’t got the nerve, girl (Ooh)
To put you down (Ooh)
When I got home (Ooh)
I knocked upon my door (Ooh)
And then, you tried to tell me (Aah, aah)
I don't leave here no more

[Chorus]
Ain't that a funky way to treat somebody?
(A funky way to treat me...)
Ain't that a funky way to treat me?
(A funky way to treat me...)
Ain’t that a funky way to treat me
Good lovin', sweet lovin', man like me
(Yes, it is, yes, it is, yes, it is)
Alright (Yes, it is, yes, it is)
Ain't that a funky way you treat me!
(Funky way to treat me...)
I know it's the dirty, dirty way you treat somebody!
(Dirty way you treat me...)
Ain't that a funky way you treat me!
(The funky way you treat me...)
