I liked the way you wanted me every night for so long baby I liked the way you needed me every time when things got rocky (Ah ah ah) I was believing in you (Ah ah ah) 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 liked the way you held me every night for so long baby And I liked the way you'd say my name in middle of the night while you were sleeping (Ah ah ah) I was believing in you (Ah ah ah) Was I mistaken? Do you mean... do you mean what you say When you say our love could last forever? I'd rather you be mean than love and lie (You'd be mean... than lie) I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye (Hear the truth... goodbye) I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know a blow...) But baby don't you break my heart slow No... You'd run around and lead me on forever All  while I waited home still thinkin' we're together I wanted our love to last forever                  I'd rather you be mean than love and lie (You'd be mean... than lie) I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye (Hear the truth... goodbye) I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know a blow...) But baby don't you break my heart slow Baby don't you break my heart slow
