Intro

I love a mean, mean, man..who lives uptown.

 When I want him most he's not around.

Chorus

 He's a mean, mean, man.

 Whoooo! Lordy, he's a mean, mean, man.

 He's a mean, mean, man but I love him all I can.

Now, he calls at six..he wants a date at eight.

 But he's never on time, he's always late.

Chorus

 He's a mean, mean, man.

 Whoooo! Lordy, he's a mean, mean, man.

 He's a mean, mean, man but I love him all I can.

(INTERLUDE:)

Well, when we go to a dance..he holds me tight.

But then he don't even kiss me goodnight.

Chorus

 He's a mean, mean, man.

 Whoooo! Lordy, he's a mean, mean, man.

 He's a mean, mean, man but I love him all I can.

I-I-I know I'm a fool..to love that man.

 But I'm a-gonna love him as long as I can.

Chorus

 He's a mean, mean, man.

 Whoooo! Lordy, he's a mean, mean, man.

 He's a mean, mean, man but I love him all I can.
