[Verse 1]
It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do
It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do
Yes, that's the time you was loving me, baby
At that time, little girl, I didn't love you

[Verse 2]
You used to make your own pay checks
And bring them all home to me
I would go out on the hillside, you know
And make every woman look I see
It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do
Yes, that's the time you was loving me, baby
At that time, little girl, I didn't love you

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Yes, you used to be here with me, baby
But now you're running around with the boys
You said you was gonna leave me
You're gonna be over in Illinois
It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do
That's when you were loving me, woman
At that time, little girl, I didn't love you
[Verse 4]
On my knees, raise up my right hand
Yes, I would do better baby but I just don't understand
It's my own fault, baby
Treat me the way you wanna do
That's when you were loving me, woman
At that time, little girl, I wouldn't be true
