I Told You I Was Mean

Hmm, hmm

Hmm, hmm

I lied to you

I never cried for you

I swear that I tried to

But I had better things to do

Now you're on the road with your painful load

And the words I spoke left your big heart broken

You know you still bother

Because love is for the poor

So I left you knocking outside my front door

You knew what this was

I don't want you anymore

I warned you before

Warned you before

Well I, I coulda sworn I told you I was mean

You were a sweet old thing

And I was lonely, so I let you hold me for

A limited time only

You see, you're nothing to me

'Cause I'll always be a bad, bad seed

And you know you still bother

Because love is for the poor

So I left you knocking outside my front door

You knew what this was

I don't want you anymore

I warned you before, I warned you before

Well I coulda sworn I told you I was mean

Dum-de-dum dum-dum (hmm)

I'm just a mean old thing (hm)

Dum-de-dum dum-dum (hmm)

I know you still bother

Because love is for the poor

So cut out your knocking

'Cause I will never come

I will never come to the door

You knew just what this was

And I don't want you forever more

I warned you before, baby

I warned you before, oh honey

Well I coulda sworn I told you I was mean

Dum-de-dum dum-dum

I'm just a mean old thing

Dum-de-dum dum-dum
