My Man Is A Mean Man  I swear to tell the truth  and nothing but the truth  loving him ain't easy  it's bad bad news, yeah    momma says use your head you don't need him,  look at all the shit he pulls you through  papa curses baby girl if you don't leave him  there's nothing I can do for you, there's nothing I can do    He's a mean man  but it's my man  my man alone  he's a mean, mean one  son of a gun  keeps me by the telephone  he's a mean man  my man, my man alone yeah  my man    He likes to mess around  is always in a mess  he likes to have a drink or two  before he gets down to rest yeah  knock knock, 6 o'clock in the morning  baby I've been missing you  He comes and goes without a warning  doing what he does (she sings do)  doing what he does    He's a mean man  but it's my man  my man alone  he's a mean, mean one  son of a gun  keeps me by the telephone  he's a mean man  my man, my man alone yeah  it's my man    he lies and he cheats  he loves and he leaves  that's just the way it goes  but I do what I can  I stand by my man  I think he loves me  i think he does (she sings do again)  i think he does    He's a mean man  but it's my man  my man alone  he's a mean, mean one  son of a gun  keeps me by the telephone  he's a mean man  my man  my man alone  he's a mean man  my man  my man  my man alone    these lyrics are submitted by OarSmaN
