[Verse 1]
You wanted it
From the start, you play hard
No great escape
So insane, fun and games
Hung up on me
Strung me out on a wire (Whoa-whoa-whoa)
Messed with my head
Now you're gone, I want you dead

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw my therapist, he said to take the pill
That’s not the way for me
I'm torn up and I want to be
As mean as you (As mean as you)

[Chorus]
No sh-sh-shame
'Cause you won’t take the blame (Whoa-whoa-whoa)
Why, why, why, why do I want to see you cry? (As mean as you)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, over you, such a fool
No, no, no, no, now I want to see you go (Whoa-whoa-whoa)

[Post-Chorus]
I can be as mean as you
I can be as mean as you
[Verse 2]
You shot me down
Cut and bruised to the ground (Whoa-whoa-whoa)
I'll get you back
Just like that (Pew, pew, whoa-whoa-whoa)

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw my therapist, he said to take the pill
That's not the way for me
I'm torn up and I want to be
As mean as you (As mean as you)

[Chorus]
No sh-sh-shame
'Cause you won't take the blame (Whoa-whoa-whoa)
Why, why, why, why do I want to see you cry? (As mean as you)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, over you, such a fool
No, no, no, no, now I want to see you go (Whoa-whoa-whoa)

[Post-Chorus]
I can be as mean as you
I can be as mean as you

[Bridge]
Some day you will just wash away
I will forget your face, you will disappear
Somehow, I can't forget you now
I have to work it out and so I'd shed a tear
[Outro]
(No) Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
(Whoa-whoa-whoa, why?) Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
No sh-sh-shame ’cause you won’t take the blame
(Whoa-whoa-whoa) Why, why, why
Why do I want to see you cry? (As mean as you)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, over you, such a fool
(Whoa-whoa-whoa, no)
No, no, no, now I want to see you go (As mean as you)
