Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You're mean to me

Why must you be mean to me?

Gee, honey, it seems to me

You love to see me crying

I don't know why

[Verse 2]

I stay home

Each night when you say you'll phone

You don't, and I'm left all alone

Singing the blues and sighing

[Verse 3]

You treat me coldly

Each day in the year

You always scold me

Whenever somebody is near, dear

[Verse 4]

It must be

Great fun to be mean to me

You shouldn't, for can't you see

What you mean to me?
