Treat Me Like Your Mother

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alison Mosshart] Don't act like you can't act I know I seen you do it You better learn to shake hands And treat me like your mother Don't act like you can't act Stand up like a man You better learn to shake hands And treat me like your mother [Pre-Chorus 1: Alison Mosshart] You came on too late You came on too late now You came on too late To do a thing [Verse 2: Alison Mosshart] Come on, look me in the eye You want to try to tell a lie? I bet you can't and you know why? I'm just like your mother Look me in the eye now You want to try to tell a lie? You can't, you know why? I'm just like your mother [Pre-Chorus 2: Alison Mosshart] You came on too late You came on too late now You came on too late Play dumb, play dead, play straight [Chorus 1: Alison Mosshart, Jack White] Who's got it figured out? Play dumb, play dead, play straight Who's got it figured out? Play straight, trying to manipulate [Bridge: Alison Mosshart and Jack White] M-a-n-i-p-u-late M-a-n-i-p-u-late M-a-n-i-p-u-late M-a-n-i-p-u-late Am I too? Am I late? Am I too? Am I late? Am I, am I, am I, am I Am I too late [Chorus 2: Jack White] Who's got it figured out? Left, right, left, right Got it figured out? Who's got it figured out? Play straight [Verse 3: Alison Mosshart] Stand up like a man You better learn to shake hands And look me in the eye now Treat me like your mother Come on, look me in the eye You want to try to tell a lie? You can't and you know why? I'm just like your mother [Chorus 1 - excerpt: Jack White] Play dumb, play dead Trying to manipulate [Outro: Jack White, Alison Mosshart and Jack White] You blink when you breathe And you breathe when you lie You blink when you lie You blink when you breathe And you breathe when you lie You blink when you lie You blink when you breathe And you breathe when you lie You blink when you lie Who's got it figured out? Left right left right Got it figured out? Who's got it figured out? Play straight Trying to manipulate Who's got it figured out? Left, left right, left right, left right Who's got it figured out? Play straight Trying to manipulate You blink when you breathe And you breathe when you lie You blink when you lie Who's got it figured out? Play straight
