Mean To Me Video (MV)

She came all the way from America
She had a blind date with destiny
And the sound of Te Awamutu
Had a truly sacred ring
Now her parents
Are divorced
And her friend's committing suicide

I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me

So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
And you asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V.
To stop us from getting lonely

I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
You said don't walk away
I'm down on my knees
So please don't be mean to me

You know I could not escape
A plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn't wait for a chance
Walk out the door
You know what it means to me

I...
I...

I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
I
I heard him tell you ta...tantalizing
Lies
What'd'ya know
Whad'd'ya know

I could not escape
You're down on the floor
You know what it means to me
I couldn't wait for a chance
Walk out the door
Mean...
Mean...
I could not escape
Down on my knees
You know what it means

What it means
What it means

In the arms of a poet
You know what it means
