Mean Man Songtext
von The Detroit Cobras

(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
