        Oh, Gin
        how could you treat me this way
        Oh, treat me this way

        Oh, Gin
        how could you treat me this way
        Baby, treat me this way

        You know you broke my heart
        ever since you went away

        You gotta feel it and like it
        and if you move you gotta drill it and hold it
        Oh, oh, oh, oh, Gin
        how could you treatin' me this way

        You know you broke my heart
        ever since you went away

        Oh, Gin
        how could you treat me this way
        Hey, you treat me this way

        Oh, Gin
        how could you treat me this way
        How you treat me this way

        You know you broke my heart
        ever since you went away

        You gotta feel it and like it
        and if you move it like it
        Oh, oh, oh, oh, Gin
        how could you treat me this way

        You know I'm gonna stay alone
        'til you're coming back and play

        You know I've been so sad
        ever since you went away
        You know I've been so sad
        ever since you went away
