[Verse 1]
You told me that you loved me
And I believed in you
If you really love me, baby
Why do you treat me like you do?
[Chorus]
What's the matter, baby?
Succession makes an awful change
Ever since you hit the number
You sure been acting strange
[Verse 2]
I don't look like Betty Grable
Goodness knows I don't dress real fine
But I'm cool, calm and collected
And I've been told I'm fine as wine
[Chorus]
What's the matter, baby?
Is my lovin' growing stale?
If I ever catch you cheating
That's the day I'm going to jail
[Verse 3]
I've shared your every heartache
Every burden, I helped you bear
When you needed consolation
I've always been right there
[Chorus]
What's the trouble, baby?
You're growing colder everyday
One of these days you're gonna be sorry
You treated your baby this way
[Verse 4]
You know I love you, baby
Better than I love myself
And it's me you're gonna have
Nobody else
[Chorus]
What's your story, baby?
Please, tell me what's wrong with you
If you really love me, baby
Why do you treat me like you do?
