"Love Don't" lyrics - NATHANIEL RATELIFF

Lately I've been feeling this way, tell me if I'm wrong
Only thing I felt in weeks is when I leaned in to know

Singing love don't treat you like that
Not when it's around
Love won't treat you like that
No, honey, no

Hey, mama, can't stand around and sing
Hey, baby, where we gonna be?
And hey, mama, I'm tired of what I see
And I can't bother to wait if people don't want to change

Saying love don't treat you like that
Don't tell me I don't know
I know that love won't treat you like that
I won't let go

Ain't it time now when we rise up and we fight it?
Say you're a lover, man
Then tell me why, why, why, what's it gonna take to know that

Love don't treat you like that? Babe, I'm letting you know
Saying love don't treat you like that, yeah, I know

Only thing I wanted was to try and find a new way
Lately, I've been feeling that it might be the ending of days

Saying love don't treat you like that
Just don't let go
Yeah, love don't treat you like that
I'm letting you know

It's a time we find a new way
Even if they come from all sides
They trying to turn us into criminals
Well, come anyway
And you wondered how
Take me, I won't hesitate to tell them

That love won't treat you like that
Babe, I'm letting you know
Love don't treat you like that
Babe, I'm letting you know
Saying love don't treat you like that
I'm letting you know

We're preyed upon in their little game and we cry
Deep in the night, deep in your woes
Baby, I can't let 'em and I won't let go

There's a line in the sand
Think we'll have to cross it, man
If, if, if I got, got to t-t-t-t-tell ya
Tell ya why, why, why, why, why, why

Saying love don't treat you like that
Babe, I'm letting you know
Saying love don't treat you like that
I'm letting you know
Saying love don't treat you like that
Babe, I'm letting you know
Saying love don't treat you like that
I'm not letting go
