Intro: (2x) Verse 1: I liked the way you wanted me Every night for so long, baby. I liked the way you needed me Every time that things got rocky, yeah. Pre-Chorus: 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 good bye I'd rather take a blow At least then I would know But baby, don't you break my heart slow Verse 2: I liked the way you'd hold me Every night for so long, baby, yeah I liked the way you'd sing me Every time that things got rocky, yeah. Pre-Chorus: I was believing in you Was I mistaken, do you say... Do you say what you mean 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 good bye I'd rather take a blow At least then I would know But baby, don't you break my heart slow, yeah Bridge: You'd run around and lead me on forever While I stay at home, thinking we're still together... G! I wanted 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 good bye And I'd rather take a blow At least then I would know But baby, don't you break my heart slow
