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
Am I mistaken do you say,
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever
(chorus)
But Id rather you be mean than love and lie
Id rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
Id rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby dont you break my heart slow
I like the way youd hold me Every night for so long baby
And I like the way youd say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever
(chorus)
Well Id rather you be mean than love and lie
Id rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
Id rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby dont you break my heart slow
(bridge)
Youe would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home thinking that were together
I wanted our love to last forever
(chorus)
Well Id rather you be mean than love and lie
Id rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
Id rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby dont you break my heart slow
Sad as the message is, it’s a song I thought I had forgotten but only needed to hear once again to be reminded of why I fell in love with it in the first place.
