Lyrics

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

When I walk through that door

Baby be polite

You're gonna make me sore

If you don't greet me right

Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice

Treat me nice


I know that you've been told

It's not fair to tease

So if you come on cold

I'm really gonna freeze

If you don't want me to be cold as ice

Treat me nice

Make me feel at home

If you really care

Scratch my back and run your pretty

Fingers through my hair


You know I'll be your slave

If you ask me to

But if you don't behave

I'll walk right out on you

If you want my love then take my advice

Treat me nice


Make me feel at home

If you really care

Scratch my back and run your pretty

Fingers through my hair

You know I'll be your slave

If you ask me to

But if you don't behave

I'll walk right out on you

If you want my love then take my advice

Treat me nice


If you really want my love then treat me nice
