Sweetheart, I love you   Think the world of you   But I'm afraid you don't care for me      You never show it   Don't let me know it   Everyone says I'm a fool to be      Pining the whole day through   Why do you act like you do?      You're mean to me   Why must you be mean to me?   Gee, honey, it seems to me!   You love to see me crying      I don't know why I stay home   Each night when you say you'll phone   You don't and I'm left alone   Singing the blues and sighing      You treat me coldly   Each day of the year   You always scold me   Whenever somebody is near, dear      It must be great fun   To be mean to me   You shouldn't for can't you see   What you mean to me      You treat me coldly   Each day of the year   You always scold me   Whenever somebody is near, dear      It must be great fun   To be mean to me   You shouldn't for can't you see   What you mean to me
