'Cause honey, I'm just like an alley cat
[Chorus]
And when you're filled up to here with hate
Don't you know you gotta get it straight
Filled up to here with hate
Beat her black and blue and get it straight
Uh-huh

How could you treat me this way?

You know you broke my heart

[Verse 5]
Now you said that you love us
But you only make love to one of us
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Jim
How could you treat me this way?
You know you broke my heart
Ever since you went away
[Outro]
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
