|
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
|
Was 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, do you mean what you say?
|
When you say our love could 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
|
|
(Bridge)
|
You would run around and lead me on forever
|
While I wait at home still thinking that we're together
|
I wanted our love to last forever
|
|
I was believing in you
|
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)
|
