I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long, baby

I like the way you needed me
Every time the things got rocky, yeah


I was believing in you
Was I mistaken?
Do you mean,

Do you mean what you say?
When you say our love could last forever


Well, I'd rather you be mean
Than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth

Than have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know

But baby don't you break my heart slow

I like the way you'd hold me

Every night for so long, baby
I like the way you'd sing to me
Every time the things got rocky, yeah


I was believing in you
Was I mistaken?

Do you say,
Do you say what you mean?
When you say our love could last forever


Well, I'd rather you be mean
Than love and lie

I'd rather hear the truth
Than have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow

At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow


Oh, yeah, yeah

You'd run around

And lead me on forever
While I stay at home
Still thinking we're together

I want our love to last forever

But I'd rather you be mean

Than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth
Than have to say goodbye

And I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow

Now baby don't you break my heart
Slow
