John Entwistle - You Can Be So Mean Lyrics

Do you remember the first time we kissed?

Baby, the drive in movie, one kiss I couldn't resist

Baby, you went again with another boy to see the part you missed

Baby you can be so mean.



You promised to love me for rich or for poor

Baby, to be faithful and true, this is what you swore

Baby, how come our kids look like the fella next door?

Baby you can be so mean.



Oooh baby I begged you on my knees to let me stay

But you slammed my fingers in the door

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But you hurt me, you hurt me a whole lot more

Oh - oh.



(Sax Solo)



Maybe I was a fool to love you anyhow

But how was I to know

You'd run around with every boy in town

And then tell me, tell me to pack up and go

Oh.



Baby, you left me kneeling with my head on the floor

Baby, wondering why, with my hand still in the door

Baby, maybe it's cause I love you much much more than you love me.



Baby, you were the one that said we must part

Baby, you said you never loved me right from the start

Baby, you took the kids, the car, the house, and left me a broken heart

Baby, you can be so mean

Baby, you can be so mean.
