i liked the way you wanted me
every night for so long, baby
and i liked the way you needed me
every time things got rocky
i was believing in you
was i mistaken, do you say
do you say what you mean
i want our love to last forever
but i'd rather to be mean
than love and lie
i'd rather hear the truth
and have to say goodbye
i'd rather take a blow
at least then i would know
but baby don't you break my heart slow
i liked the way you'd hold me
every night for so long, baby
i liked the way you'd say my name
in the middle of the night
while you were sleeping
i was believing in you
was i mistaken, do you mean
do you mean what you say
when you say our love could last forever
but i'd rather you be mean
than love and lie
i'd rather hear the truth
and have to say goodbye
i'd rather take a blow
at least then i would know
but baby don't you break my heart slow
you'd run around and lead me on forever
oh while i wait at home still thinkin we're together
i wanted our love to last forever ...
i was believing in you
i'd rather you be mean
than love and lie
i'd rather hear the truth
and have to say goodbye
i'd rather take a blow
at least then i would know
but baby don't you break my heart slow
