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

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

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

You would run around

and lead me on forever

While I wait at home still

thinkin', we're together

I wanted our love to last forever

Oh yeah

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, no

Don't 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
