Lyrics Mean Man - Original - Betty Harris

Mean Man - Original

These salty tears falling from my eyes
He’s a mean man, he’s that kind of guy
I’ve been loving him since school days
At least for me, I should say fool days
After waitin' all this time
Thinkin' 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 cool man
Mean man
A break-the-rule man
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 arm around me tightly
Ooh, he’s so divine
Mean man
Want no other man
Mean man
Be my lover man
Jimmy loved 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 keeps gettin' stronger
Oh, when I feel tired
He decides to come around
He acts as if he doesn’t know
That I’m alive, he hurts me so
Mean man
He’s a sweet man
Mean man
man
Mean man
He’s a cool man
Mean man
I’ll break the rule man
Mean man
Want no other man
