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 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
and 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 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
i`d rather take a blow at least then i would know
but baby don`t you break my heart slow
 
bridge 
youe would run around and lead me on forever
while i wait at home thinking that we`re together
i wanted our love to 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
i`d rather take a blow at least then i would know
but baby don`t you break my heart slow
 
Chorus
