Laced with funky, soulful production from Danish producers Soulshock and Karlin tailored made for his unique voice, neo-soul singer Rahsaan Patterson floats like a bee over a troubling domestic abuse narrative in “Treat You Like a Queen”. Patterson firmly but reassuringly admonishes the subject of t...
[Verse 1]
Baby, tell me why
You're wearing dark glasses inside
What you tryna hide?
Is it another black eye?
What you gonna do
Next time he lays his hands on you?
Let me tell you the truth
Don't you realize he don't love you?
[Chorus]
If he don't treat you like a queen
You should be steppin'
It's obvious to me that
He ain't worth it
What's the use of staying
When he hurts you?
Baby, you should know
He don't deserve you
[Verse 2]
Tell me, what makes a man
Treat his woman so cruel?
To me, it makes so sense
For you to stand this abuse
Well, enough is enough
You deserve a love much better
A little joy and laughter
Understanding on a silver platter
[Chorus]
If he don't treat you like a queen
You should be steppin'
(You should be steppin', baby)
It's obvious to me (Me)
That (That) he ain't worth it
(If he hurts you, baby)
What's the use of staying
When he hurts you?
(If he hurts you, baby)
Baby, you should know
(You should know)
He don't (He don't) deserve you
(Deserve you, babe)
[Bridge]
You can't go on pretending not to see
What everyone knows
Open your eyes (Open your eyes)
You're running out of time
There's no joy in pain
What ya gonna gain?
He don't feel no shame
(He don't feel no shame, no, no)
Why is it that you stay loving this way?
It could end your life someday
If you don't know, if you don't know
Say you will know
[Chorus]
If he don't treat you like a queen
You should be steppin'
It's obvious to me that
He ain't worth it
(I want you to know, he ain't worth it)
What's the use of staying
(What's the use in staying when)
When he hurts you?
(You know he hurt you, baby, you, baby)
Baby, you should know
He don't deserve you
(If he don't treat you like a queen, yeah)
If he don't treat you like a queen
You should be steppin'
It's obvious to me that
He ain't worth it
What's the use of staying
(What's the use in staying when)
When he hurts you?
(He hurts you, you)
Baby, you should know
He don't deserve you
(You know, you know, you know)
[Outro]
If he don't treat you like a queen
You should be steppin'
(If he don't give good love
Treat you right, day and night, you should say bye-bye)
It's obvious to me that
He ain't worth it (Bye-bye)
What's the use of staying
(What's the use in staying when)
When he hurts you?
(Staying when, staying when)
Baby, you should know
(Staying when)
He don't deserve you
(He don't deserve you, oh-oh-oh, oh)
If he don't treat you like a queen
