Lyrics
Mistreated
My love holds me close
She must confuse me for another boy
The policeman comes over
There must be something wrong
Neither of them are moving they have no place to go
Busses stop moving
Miners, shoe shiners,
Stare at human sculpture never seen before
I am water once made from stone
My angel?s come and I can?t let go
CHORUS:
Don?t you know I should be mistreated
Don?t you know I should be torn apart
Don?t you know I should be running and screamin?
?cause someone is holding my heart
By the theater, people go to the show,
Dressed for a Tony or Academy Award
But we walk slowly in an unfamiliar glow
My angel?s the only one who can pierce my coat
CHORUS:
My love looks at me
And she won?t look away
My love looks at me
And says here?s the face of love
Instrumental
