(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
