THE DEAD WEATHER
"Treat Me Like Your Mother"
(Dean Fertita / Jack Lawrence / Alison Mosshart / Jack White)

Don't act like you can't act
I always think you do it
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

Don't act like you can't act
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

You came on too late
You came on too late now
You came on too late
To do a thing

Come on, look me in the eye
You wanna try to tell a lie?
I'll bet you can't and you know why?
I'm just like your mother

Look me in the eye now
You wanna try to tell a lie?
You can't and you know why?
I'm just like your mother

You came on too late
You came on too late now
You came on too late
Play dumb, play dead, play straight

Who's got it figured out?
Play dumb, play dead, play straight
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
Trying to manipulate

M-a-n-i-p-u-late
M-a-n-i-p-u-late
M-a-n-i-p-u-late
M-a-n-i-p-u-late

Am I too
Am I late?
Am I too
Am I late?
Am I, am I, am I, am I, am I too
Late?

Who's got it figured out?
Left, right, left, right
Got it figured out?
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight

Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
Look me in the eye now
And treat me like your mother

Come on, look me in the eye
You want to try to tell a lie?
You can't and you know why?
I'm just like your mother

Play dumb, play dead
Trying to manipulate

You blink when you breathe and you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie

Who's got it figured out?
Left, right, left, right
Got it figured out?
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
Try to manipulate

Who's got it figured out?
Left, left, right, left, right, left, right
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
Try to manipulate

You blink when you breathe and you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who's got it figured out?
Play straight
