I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you say
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever
[Chorus:]
But I’d rather you be mean than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow
I like the way you’d hold me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you’d say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken do you mean
Do you mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever
[Chorus:]
Well I’d rather you be mean than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye(goodbye)
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow
[Bridge:]
You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home still thinking we’re together
I wanted our love to last forever
I was believing in you
[Chorus:]
I’d rather you be mean than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow
Don’t love and lie
I’d rather hear the the truth and have to say goodbye
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow
Baby don’t you break my heart slow
