Mean To Me

She came all the way from America

she had a blind date with destiny

And the sound of Te Awamutu

Had a truly sacred ring

Now her parents are divorced

And her friend's committing suicide



Chorus:

I could not escape

A plea from the heart

You know what it means to me

She said don't walk away

I'm down on my knees

So please don't be mean to me



So I talked to you for an hour

In the bar of a small town hotel

and you asked me what I was thinking

I was thinking of a padded cell

With a black and white T.V.

To stop us from getting lonely



Chorus

I could not escape

A plea from the heart

You know what it means to me

you said don't walk away

i got down on my knees

oh, please don't be mean to me



oh, you know I could not escape

a plea from the heart

mysterious sympathy

I couldn't wait for a chance

To walk out the door

you know what it means to me



I saw you lying in the arms of a poet

I heard him tell you t...tantalizing lies

What'd'ya know, whad'd'ya know



I could not escape

You're down on the floor

You know what it means to me

I couldn't wait for a chance

walk out the door

Mean...mean...



i could not escape

get down on your knees

You know what it means

what it means...

what it means...

what it means...
