He's just a little meaner and maybe I can break away
Make me cry a little harder and maybe I won't want to stay
You don't love me and I know it it's been the answer's thought me so
So be just a little meaner then I'll give up at last and go
He'll hurt me just a little and fill my heart with doubts and fears
And you love me just a little and I'll forget yesterday's tears
If you'd really truly hurt me I might forget I'd love you so
Please be just a little meaner then I'll give up at last and go
[ steel ]
Be just a little meaner honey won't you set me free
I can hardly remember the last time you said you love me
After all the love I gave you what I ask is only fair
Please be just a little meaner so I can run and hide somewhere
