Mean Man
(Ooooh)
These salty tears fallin' from eyes
He's a mean man, he's that kind of guy
Well I've been lovin' him since school days
I guess for me I should say fool days
After waiting all this time
Thinking he would just be mine
He acts as if he doesn't know
Just how much I love him so
(Mean man) he's a cruel man
(Mean man) a break the rule mane
Took me so long you know it's a sin
And I forgive him time and time again
Someday I may break these ties that bind
I see no hope for this soul of mine
When I try to face the truth
Tell myself I'll cut him loose
He puts his arms around me tightly
Ooh he's so divine
(Mean man) he's a cruel man
(Mean man) a break-the-rule man
Jimmy loves me and Henry too (Henry too)
But I still wait around for you-know-who
Just when I need him he's a goner
But still my love he's getting stronger
When I get to feeling tired
He decides to come around
He acts as if he doesn't know
I'm alive, he hurts me so
(Mean man) he's a lover man
(Mean man) like no other man
(Mean man) he's a sweet man
(Mean man) he's my mean man
These salty tears fallin' from eyes
He's a mean man, he's that kind of guy
Well I've been lovin' him since school days
I guess for me I should say fool days
After waiting all this time
Thinking he would just be mine
He acts as if he doesn't know
Just how much I love him so
(Mean man) he's a cruel man
(Mean man) a break the rule mane
Took me so long you know it's a sin
And I forgive him time and time again
Someday I may break these ties that bind
I see no hope for this soul of mine
When I try to face the truth
Tell myself I'll cut him loose
He puts his arms around me tightly
Ooh he's so divine
(Mean man) he's a cruel man
(Mean man) a break-the-rule man
Jimmy loves me and Henry too (Henry too)
But I still wait around for you-know-who
Just when I need him he's a goner
But still my love he's getting stronger
When I get to feeling tired
He decides to come around
He acts as if he doesn't know
I'm alive, he hurts me so
(Mean man) he's a lover man
(Mean man) like no other man
(Mean man) he's a sweet man
(Mean man) he's my mean man
