(YOU) TREAT ME CRUEL

from international (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

about

I was just trying to write a song as if an early Elvis Presley was going to sing it. I tried to get an authentic sound like it came from the mid to late 50's. Just before I made a final mix of the song, my son suggested putting hand claps in it. So, in my home studio, I overdubbed hand claps and added reverb and a ton of echo. This gave it that 50's sound I was looking for.
This is song #77.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio & MINE music Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I Say Hello. You Say Good-Bye.
I Feel So Lonesome, And You Make Me Wanna Cry Now.
I'm So Lonely Without You.
You Got Me Runnin' Everywhere. You Treat Me Cruel.

I Say I Love You. You Say You Don't.
I Say I Will, But You Say You Won't Now.
I Wonder What To Do.
You Treat Me So Bad. Oh, Um, You Treat Me Cruel.

You Took My Heart And I Went On Caring.
I Thought You Were The One To Love Me True.
And Now I Know That Love Is For Sharing.
My Love Just Never Got Through.

I Wish You Loved Me. I Wish You Had.
You Said You Hate Me, And You Made Me So Sad Now.
You Think I'm Just A Fool.
You Said You Didn't Care. Ah, You Treat Me Cruel.

You Took My Heart And I Went On Caring.
I Thought You Were The One To Love Me True.
And Now I Know That Love Is For Sharing.
My Love Just Never Got Through.

I Wish You Loved Me. I Wish You Had.
You Said You Hate Me, And You Made Me So Sad Now.
You Think I'm Just A Fool.
You Said You Didn't Care. Oh, You Treat Me Cruel
You Said You Didn't Care. Oh, Ah, You Treat Me Cruel.
Mm, You Treat Me Cruel. Mm, Yeah, You Treat Me Cruel.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
