Mean Man - The Detroit Cobras

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
