Treat Me Rough
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was born, they found a silver spoon in my mouth
And so I always had the best of care
When winter came up north, of course they motored me south
Where I was princess in our villa there
Tutors and headwaiters fawned on me
Life was just a bore till it dawned on me
The cushy sheltered way of life was really no fun
From now on, some manhandling must be done
So treat me rough
Muss my hair
Don't you dare to handle me with care
I'm no innocent child, baby
Keep on treating me wild
Treat me rough
Pinch my cheek
Kiss and hug and squeeze me
`Till I'm weak
I've been pampered enough, baby
Keep on treatin' me rough
(bridge)
Treat me rough
Pinch my cheek
Kiss and hug and squeeze me
`Till I'm weak
I've been pampered enough, baby
Keep on treatin' me rough
Keep on beatin' me
Keep on treatin' me rough
