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



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



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)

You 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



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
