May 6. You Teach People How to Treat You

Written by Tim & KB Marie

Jerry called Julie
From a San Fran Hotel
After the deal fell through
Her report card read B minus
He said I expected better from you

One step backward
Once again
She said you don’t see the good I do

Don’t you know you teach people
How to treat you.

Hotel bar, he wants a drink
Dial tone ringing in his ear
He sees a waitress smiling at her tables
He says what’s it take to get a bud round here?

One step backward
Once again
She says You don’t have to be rude

Don’t you know you teach people
How to teach you

It’s nothing new
It’s a simple thing
Like going home
It’s comforting

Jerry found a pay phone
Dropped a quarter in
Woke Julie up to say I love you.

Don’t know you teach people
How to treat you.
