Mr. Mean

from A Song A Week 2022 by Kate Sloan

/

lyrics

each day at work, I sit & pray
that when I get back home today
I won't be face-to-face with Mr. Mean

thought I knew the real you
& now I don't know what to do
when did you turn into Mr. Mean?

you love me when I'm needy
you love me when I shrink
you hate when I get angry
or when I dare to think

your rage is like a fire
& I guess I'm gasoline
it feels like it's my fault you're Mr. Mean

I used to count the hours until
I'd see your face, & now I still
watch the clock & wait for Mr. Mean

you lured me in & got me hooked
there was a lot I overlooked
until I was in bed with Mr. Mean

you used to love my body, used to kiss every freckle
I'm waking up with Hyde when I went to bed with Jekyll
you need to clean your act up, Mr. Mean

you love me when I'm tragic
you love me when I'm weak
you hate when I get angry
or when I dare to speak

I'm not your little dolly
& I'm not your troubled teen
so now, I think I'm done with Mr. Mean

I'm off to find another
who will treat me like a queen
& now I'm finally done with Mr. Mean
