Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, why do you treat me so mean?
You're the meanest thing I've ever seen
You won't let me hold you tight
You won't let me love you right
But you know I love you, so why do you do me like you do?
[Verse 2]
Say, maybe, little baby, yeah, I'm nervous as a bug
You got me crazy, little baby, you know you tear me up
[Verse 3]
You're a mean little Mama, uh-huh
You're a mean little Mama, uh-huh
Well, I'm down on my knees for you
Well, I'm beggin' and pleadin'
Oh, please, please, love me too
[Verse 4]
Say, maybe, little baby, yeah, I'm nervous as a bug
You got me crazy, little baby, you know you tear me up
[Verse 5]
You're a mean little Mama, uh-huh
You're a mean little Mama, uh-huh
Well, I'm down on my knees for you
Well, I'm beggin' and pleadin'
Oh, please, please, love me too
[Verse 6]
Well, I'm beggin' and pleadin'
Oh, please, please, love me too
'Cause I'm beggin' and pleadin'
Oh, please, please, love me too
