I like the way you wanted me

Every night for so long baby

I like the way you needed me

Every time things got rocky

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

(Chorus)

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 sing to me

Every time things got rocky

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

(Chorus)

Cause 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

(Bridge)

You would run around and lead me on forever

While I stay at home still thinking we're together

I wanted our love to last forever

(Chorus)

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

Baby don't you break my heart slow
