I Told You I Was Mean

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
Ain’t no use to 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 could’ve 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 it ain’t no use to 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 could’ve sworn I told you I was mean
Dum-de-dum dum-dum
I’m just a mean old thing
Dum-de-dum dum-dum
Ain’t no use to 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 forevermore
I warned you before, hey baby
I warned you before, oh honey
Well, I could’ve sworn I told you I was mean
Dum-de-dum dum-dum
I’m just a mean old thing
Dum-de-dum dum-dum
