MEAN STREAK

Callin’ my number late last night

I shot out of bed, I turned on the light

You said you had to get a message to me

But then you caught the look in my eyes

There you were standing at my door

Tellin’ me how you couldn’t take anymore

I guess you’ve got to know what’s on my mind

I guess I’ll have to tell you one more time

I see words floatin’ round your silly head

You’d better talk now but don’t tell no lies

You don’t know what it’s like, oh I’ve got a mean streak

I can love you but I can only take so much

I’ve got a mean streak – oh I’ve got a mean streak

Can’t remember all the words we say

We wrap ‘em up and then we toss ‘em away

It should be makin’ more sense by now

But then you’ve got to make me pay

I want a love that’s strong and true baby

I don’t know if I can get it from you

Some things only time will tell

You toss a coin in a wishin’ well

I see dreams floatin’ round your silly head

You’d better live now but don’t live no lies

You don’t know what it’s like, oh I’ve got a mean streak

I can love you but I can only take so much, I’ve got a mean streak

You don’t know what it’s like, oh I’ve got a mean streak

You say you love me but I can only take so much, I’ve got mean streak

Save you money, save you mind. Someday it’s gonna be right on time

You tell me how you think you’ve got it so bad

Love doesn’t have to make you feel so sad, you don’t know
