I Told You I Was Mean Lyrics


I lied to you
I never cried for you
Swear that I tried to
But I have better things to do
Now you're on the road
with your painful load
And the words I spoke
left your big heart brokeAnd you still bother
because love is for the poor
I left you knocking outside my front door
You knew what this was
I don't want you anymore
I warned you before
I warned you before
That i could've sworn that I told you I was meanYou were sweet
And I was lonely so I let you hold me
For a limited time
Oh don't you see

You're nothing to me
Cuz I'll always be
A bad bad seedAnd you still bother
because love is for the poor
I left you knocking outside my front door
You knew what this was
I don't want you anymore
I warned you before
I warned you before
That i could've sworn that I told you I was meandum di dah
I'm just a mean ol' thing'
dum di dah dumThere's no use to bother
Because love is for the poor
So cut out your knockin'
Cuz I will never come, I will never come to the door
You knew just what this was
And I don't want you forevermore
I warned you before, hey baby
I warned you before, oh honey
Well I could've sworn I told you I was meandum di dah
I'm just a mean ol' thing'
dum di dah dum
