"Treat Her Like a Lady" is a song written and recorded by Jamaican reggae singer, Diana King in 1995 for her album "Tougher Than Love". Celine Dion covered the song in 1997 for "Let's Talk About Love" and released it as a single in 1999. Dion's version reached top forty in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Austria.
"Treat Her Like a Lady" is the last single from Celine Dion's album "Let's Talk About Love". It was released on March 29, 1999 in Europe. Dion changed some lyrics, thus gaining co-writing credit. She recorded it together with Diana King and the American girl group Brownstone who did the backing vocals. The track was later remixed by Ric Wake and the Metro.
The single was released between March and June 1999 in Europe, to support the forthcoming "Let's Talk About Love Tour". The performance from the tour was included on the "Celine Dion :Au cœur du stade" DVD.
Celine Dion with Diana King (as a surprise guest) performed the song for the first time in 13 years during her headlining performance at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival on January 27, 2012.
Treat Her Like A Lady
All the girl could want was a little attention
From a man who's strong and not to mention
Kiss and caressing her all night long
But all that boy wants is to hit and run off
He and his friends-they sit and they laugh
Going around talking 'bout the girls they used in the past
You're gonna get what's coming to you
For all the bad bad things you do to your
Lady, treat her like a lady
U'll make a good girl crazy
If you don't treat her like a lady. (2x)
She stopped going to church, she don't wanna go to school
She left with anger when he took her for a fool
Even though her friends tell her to just keep cool
Didn't tell her from the start just what he had planned
Right in her face with another woman
Now she's in jail for attacking her man
You're gonna get what's coming to you
For all the bad bad things you do to your
Lady, treat her like a lady
U'll make a good girl crazy
If you don't treat her like a lady. (2x)
Tell it to her straight, she can take the truth
Don't lead her on and leave her confused
Anyone would rather be alone than be used
Don't sit and think you'll hurt her feelings
She only wants to know just what the deal is
Next time beware of who's heart your breaking (or stealing)
