I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes I know, I've been mistreated.

Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.

I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.

Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.

Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I've been losing my mind.

I've been hurt so many times
And been told so many lies
No one cares what's on my mind
At all

I feel lost while on my own
There's no place I call home
But I still want to believe
I've not been mistreated
Not been mistreated

It's my heart that goes on
To believe there's someone
Who needs me to carry on
'till the end I'm holding on

I've not been mistreated
Not been mistreated
Not been mistreated

I know in ways - have to be strong
Pouring my strain - it's turning out wrong
Feels like a stream of endless old fears
But I still want to believe

I've not been mistreated
Not been mistreated
Not been mistreated
I've not been ...

These are the days when dreams are lost
Bleeding in vain and wearing the cost
Of nonpaid lies - I'm crying for help
But I still want to believe

I've not been mistreated
Not been mistreated
Not been mistreated
I've not been ...

I've tried more than once before
To find out what I've done wrong
Still don't know how to go on
To understand why I've been mistreated - mistreated

Still don't know where to go
Still got no place I call home - call home

I've been hurt so many times
And been told so many lies
No one cares what's on my mind
At all

I feel lost while on my own
Can't believe there's someone
Who needs me to carry on
I'm holding on

I've not been mistreated
Not been mistreated
I've not been mistreated

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.

I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.

I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.

I've been losing my mind.
