"Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" is the U.S. follow-up single to Prince's first big hit, "I Wanna Be Your Lover". It is also Prince's first rock and roll-inspired single release, though it didn't make the top 40 of the charts. The lyrics are self-explanatory from the title, and deal with a cruel lover. The song prominently features guitar and bass, with the keyboard featured in a less prominent role. A highlight of the song is a soaring guitar solo at the end, written by Andre Cymone.

- "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" is the U.S. follow-up single to Prince's first big hit, "I Wanna Be Your Lover". It is also Prince's first rock and roll-inspired single release, though it didn't make the top 40 of the charts. The lyrics are self-explanatory from the title, and deal with a cruel lover. The song prominently features guitar and bass, with the keyboard featured in a less prominent role. A highlight of the song is a soaring guitar solo at the end, written by Andre Cymone. The song was played live on Prince's first three tours, always being the second number. The extended lyrics on the live version continue the main theme, although, later on the Dirty Mind tour, these were replaced by screaming "bitch!" and following this with a blazing guitar solo. The B-side of the song was the album track, "Baby" in the U.S. and "Bambi" in New Zealand. In 1987, the song was covered by American actress turned singer Tuesday Knight's self titled debut album.
- Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad? is een single van Prince. De single werd begin 1980 uitgebracht en is afkomstig van het album Prince. Het was de opvolger van I Wanna Be Your Lover, Prince zijn eerste Amerikaanse hit. Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad? werd alleen in de Verenigde Staten en Nieuw-Zeeland uitgebracht. Het nummer is de eerste meer rock-georiënteerde single van Prince. De single bereikte echter niet de top 40 van de Verenigde Staten. Het nummer gaat over een verschrikkelijke geliefde. De basgitaar en elektrische gitaar zijn prominent aanwezig, waarbij de keyboard een minder belangrijke rol voor zich neemt. Het hoogtepunt van Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad? komt aan het einde van het nummer met een zinderende gitaarsolo geschreven door André Cymone. De B-kant van de single was Baby voor de Verenigde Staten en Bambi voor Nieuw-Zeeland.
