My Man Is a Mean Man

I swear to tell the truth

And nothing but the truth

Loving him ain't easy

He's bad, bad news, yeah

Mama said, use your head, you don't need him

Look at all the shit he put you through

Papa curse, baby girl, if you don't leave him

There's nothing I can do for you

There's nothing I can do

He's a mean man, but he's my man

My man alone

He's a mean, mean one, a son of a gun

He keeps me by the telephone

He's a mean man, my man

My man alone

He's my man

My mean man

He likes to mess around

He's always in the mess

Likes to have a drink or two

'Fore he downs the rest, yeah

Knock knock, six o clock in the morning

Baby, I been missing you

He comes and goes without a warning

Doing what he do

Mmm, doing what he do

He's a mean man, but he's my man

My man alone

He's a mean mean one, a son of a gun

He keeps me by the telephone

He's a mean man, my man

My man alone

He's my man

My mean man

He lies and he cheats, he loves and he leaves

That's just the way it goes

But I do what I can, I stand by my man

I think he loves me, I think he knows

Yeah, I think he knows

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

He's a mean man, but he's my man

My man alone

He's a mean mean one, a son of a gun

He keeps me by the telephone

He's a mean man, but he's my man

My man alone

He's a mean man, my man

My man, my man alone, yeah
