Big salty tears falling from my eyes He’s a mean man He’s that kind of guy
I’ve been loving him since school days I guess for me you should say fool days
After waiting all this time Thinking that he’ll just be mine He acts as if he doesn’t know Just how much I love him so
Mean man He’s a sweet man Mean man From head to feet man
To wait so long you know it’s a sin Yet I forgive him time and time again Someday I may break this tide of time 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 tight And he’s my soul’s delight
Mean man He’s a cool man Mean man A break the rule man
Jimmy loved me and Henry too But I’m just waiting around for you know who Cause when I need him he’s a goner Yet my love keeps on getting stronger
Oh lord, how I feel down He decides to come around He acts as if he doesn’t know That I’m alive he hurts me so
Mean Man He’s a sweet man Mean man From Head to feet man Mean Man He’s a cool man Mean man A break the rule man Mean man Ain’t no other man Mean man Can be my lover man
