- Mean To Me LyricsYou're mean to meWhy must you be mean to me?Gee, honey, it seems to meYou love to see me cryin'
I don't know whyI stay home each nightWhen you say you'll phoneYou don't and I'm left aloneSinging the blues and sighin'
You treat me coldlyEach day in the yearYou always scold meWhenever somebody is near
Dear, it mustBe great fun to be mean to meYou shouldn't, for can't you seeWhat you mean to me
I don't know whyI stay home each nightWhen you say you'll phoneYou don't and I'm left aloneSinging the blues and sighin'
Dear, it mustBe great fun to be mean to meYou shouldn't, for can't you seeWhat you mean to me
