Just because I'm kind and gentle
Slightly sentimental
Honey, I'm a fool for you!
Don't be so mean to me baby
'Cause baby's so good to you!

Could you go and leave me cryin'
Without even tryin'?
You must be made of stone!
Don't be so mean to me baby
'Cause baby's so all alone!

Just because you know I love you
And I've love you for so long
Please don't try to take advantage
'Cause I believe that love can do no wrong!

When you tell me that you love me
Think the whole world of me
Then turn around and say we're through
Don't be so mean to me baby
'Cause baby's so good for you!

When you tell me that you love me
Think the whole world of me
Then turn around and say we're through
Don't be so mean to me baby
'Cause baby's so good for you!
You're the meanest man in town
Oh, how you bring me down!
Don't be so mean to baby!
