Lyrics

Can't stop the tears fallin' from my eyes
He's a mean man
He's that kind of guy
I've been lovin' him since school days
At least for me, I should say fool days
After waitin' all this time
Thinkin' 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 man
Took me so long, you know it's a sin (It's a sin)
And I forgive him time and time again
Some day I may break the ties that bind
I feel 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
Woo, he's so delightful
Mean man, there's no other man
Mean man, can be my lover man
Jimmy loved me and Henry too (Henry too)
But I sit waitin' around for you know who
Just when I need him, he's a goner
But still my love keeps gettin' stronger
But then a few times
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 cruel man
Mean man, a break the rule man
Mean man, there's no other man
