I love a mean mean man 
He lives uptown 
When I want him most 
He's not around 

He's a mean mean man 
Whoooo! Lordy he's a mean mean man 
He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can 

Oh well, he calls at six 
He wants a date at eight 
But he's never on time 
He's always late 

Well, then we go to a dance 
He holds me real tight 
But then he don't even kiss me goodnight 

I-I-I know I'm a fool 
To love that man 
But I'm a-gonna love him as long as I can 

I-I-I know I'm a fool 
To love that man 
But I'm gonna love him as long as I can 

He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can 
He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can
