I like the way you wanted me,
Every night for so long baby,
I like the way you needed me,
Everytime 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,
And 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 hold me,
Every night, for so long baby
I like the way you say my name
Everytime 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)
But I'd rather you be mean,
Than love and lie,
And 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

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,
And 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
