Australian recording artist Lisa Bade was signed to A&M Records in the early 1980's. Her debut album was produced by the legendary David Kershenbaum, known for his work with Cat Stevens, Joe Jackson, Tracy Chapman, and many others. David Bowie's guitarist Mick Ronson played guitar and keyboards. "No Way To Treat A Lady" was released as a single in the USA, but did not chart. Adams and I met Lisa in 1983 when we were in Australia, touring with "The Police" (I played drums with Adams on that tour). Lisa was singing backing vocals for the group "Australian Crawl" at the time. For me, the definitive version of this song is Bonnie Raitt's unreleased recording. |

| Lyrics: | You can tease me You can sweet-talk and lead me on But believe me Won't be long till I'm catchin’ on Now you left me here with nothin’ And you put my love on hold Well there must be somethin’ behind those eyes Cuz I believed every lie you told That ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way to treat a woman in love That ain't no way to treat a lady I coulda sworn that you'd had enough So you’d leave me When I'm lonely and in despair It intrigues me How you don't really seem to care Well I ain't here for nothin’ And my love doesn't come that cheap I would hold you to all your promises If I could find one you meant to keep That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way to treat a woman in love That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way to treat a woman in love You can tease me You can sweet-talk and lead me on But believe me Won't be long till I'm catchin’ on Cuz I ain't here for nothin’ And my love doesn't come that cheap And I would hold you to all your promises If I could find one you meant to keep That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way to treat a woman in love That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady That ain't no way to treat a woman in love |
