I like the way you wanted me

Every night for so long baby

And 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, no

I like the way you'd hold me

Every night for so long baby

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

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, no

You would run around and lead me on forever

While I wait at home still thinking 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

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

Baby, don't you break my heart slow
