From the recording beyond reach

 
something i had sit aside for a possible 3rd vinyl kings cd, but that didn't come to pass. i then played it for Randle one day and we ended up adding it to the BR list
 

Lyrics

 
if you've got somebody that just holds you down
love shouldn't treat you that way
when you wanna fly but you're held to the ground
reach up above the clouds
 
when things go wrong and you're told you're to blame
love shouldn't treat you that way
if they don't change and things just stay the same
tell yourself every day
that love shouldn't treat you that way
 
     oh, why cry your eyes blue
     oh, when you don't have to
 
cause if it feels like he just keeps you around
love shouldn't treat you that way
if you don't feel special - it's worse than it sounds
stand up don't be afraid
tell him love shouldn't treat you that way
 
     oh, why cry your eyes blue
     oh, when you don't have to
 
if you've got somebody who just holds you down
love shouldn't treat you that way
when you wanna fly but you're held to the ground
there's no reason to stay
if love's gonna treat you that way
 
        don't go hide and cry - or just close your eyes
        look up make your self say
        love shouldn't treat you that way
