美國歌壇天王［王子］──放克搖滾──［Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?／為何你要如此虐待我?］

Theres some talk going round town

That you really dont give a damn

They say you really put me down

When Im doing the best I can

I gave you all of my love

I even gave you my body

Tell me, baby, aint that enough?

What more do you want me to do?

I play the fool when were together

But I cry when were apart, yeah

I couldnt do you no better

Dont break whats left of my broken heart, baby

Why you wanna treat me so bad

When you know I love you?

How can you do this to me

When you know I care?

Why you wanna treat me so bad

When you know I love you?

You know, I try so hard

To keep you satisfied

Sometimes you play the part

Sometimes youre so full of pride

And if its still good to ya

Why you wanna treat me so bad?

You used to love it when Id do you

You used to say…

１９７８年春天，美國音樂才子王子（Prince）以首張專輯［For You］出道，但沒獲得什麼迴響。

１９７９年秋天，２１歲王子發行第二張自己創作/製作的同名大碟［Prince］

獲得高度評價（滾石雜誌４顆星）

首支單曲［I Wanna be Your Lover／我想成為你的愛人］

獲得市場肯定，登上美國單曲榜＃１１，副榜-靈魂榜王座 ，銷售拿到百萬金唱片 

讓王子開始受到樂壇注意。

專輯也銷售上揚　在美國銷售逾１００萬張, 成為王子首張白金唱片。

１９８０年１月, 王子推出第二主打［Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?／為何你要如此虐待我?］

歌無描述與一名殘酷愛人的關係。

王子將這首個人作品製作成一首放克搖滾──這是他首支搖滾取向的單曲,

編曲突出吉他與貝斯, 弱化鍵盤角色。歌曲末端則是王子精彩的吉他獨奏。

［Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?］並沒打入Billboard單曲榜, 但在副榜－黑人榜登上＃１３。

１９８７年, 美國演員／歌手Tuesday Knight在個人首張同名專輯翻唱此曲。
