Foghat — Silent Treatment lyrics

Lyrics

I woke up last night about half past four, two police cars at my door.
Said you’d been drunk and out of control, you ran my car into a telephone pole,
Tell me baby, is it true what I heard? You never said a word.
Don’t give me that silent treatment, don’t give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad — you do it every time.
Well, I said, «Hey baby, what you tryin' to do?
The things I heard about you can’t be true.
Every night you’re out on the town, you run my money into the ground,
«Hey baby, were you out with the boys?"You never made a noise.
Don’t give me that silent treatment, don’t give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad — you do it every time.
Well you broke my heart, it was an accident, just like my money,
all my love is spent.
I don’t know why but I can’t get through to you.
Don’t give me that silent treatment, don’t give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad — you do it every time.
Well you broke my heart, it was an accident, just like my money,
all my love is spent.
I don’t know why but I can’t get through to you.
Don’t give me that silent treatment, don’t give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad — you do it every time.
Oh yeah!
Don’t give me that silent treatment, don’t give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad — you do it every time.
Don’t give me that silent treatment, don’t give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it always drives me mad — you do it every time.
Don’t give me that — (Silent treatment) (Silent treatment)
You do something bad, it only drives me mad — you do it every time.
Don’t give me that — (Silent treatment)
You do something bad, it only drives me mad — you do it every time.
Don’t give me that silent treatment, don’t give me that silent treatment
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad — you do it every time.
Don’t give me that.
