Inspiration?

Last night I was going through some of my karaoke cds looking for, I don't know, inspiration. Not sure that I found any, but did find an old Helen Reddy song. Anybody else remember "Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady"?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guess it was yourself you were involved with,
I would've sworn it was me.
I might've found out sooner if you'd only let me
close enough to see.

That ain't no way to treat a lady no way
to treat your baby, your lover, your friend.
That Ain't no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.

I was only being a picture
with all the colors I know.
While you were busy looking into
wide blue mirrors and lovin the show.

That ain't no way to treat a lady no way
to treat your baby, your lover, your friend.
That Ain't no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.

There's a funny kind of consolation keeping me sane.
And I'd really like to share it call on deep in my brain.
To see the times you never felt me loving you or needing you
So leavin you now you still wont know how
to free me from the pain.

I was looking out for my happiness
while you were looking within.
And before you know your own reflection
always starts to tire. It's happened again.

That ain't no way to treat a lady no way
to treat your baby, your lover, your friend.
That Ain't no way to treat a lady no way,
but maybe it's a way for us to end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe that was what I was looking for and just didn't know it.
