Mean To Me

Mean To Me - Crowded House

Written by：Neil Finn

She came all the way from America

She had a blind date with destiny

And the sound of Te awamutu

Had a truly sacred ring

Now her parents

Are divorced

And her friend's committing suicide

I could not escape

A plea from the heart

You know what it means to me

She said don't walk away

I'm down on my knees

So please don't be mean to me

So I talked to you for an hour

In the bar of a small town hotel

And you asked me what I was thinking

I was thinking of a padded cell

With a black and white TV

To stop us from getting lonely

I could not escape

A plea from the heart

You know what it means to me

You said don't walk away

I'm down on my knees

So please don't be mean to me

You know I could not escape

A plea from the heart

Mysterious sympathy

I couldn't wait for a chance

Walk out the door

You know what it means to me

I

I

I saw you lying in the arms of a poet

I

I heard him tell you ta tantalizing

Lies

What you know

What you know

I could not escape

You're down on the floor

You know what it means to me

I couldn't wait for a chance

Walk out the door

Mean

Mean

I could not escape

Down on my knees

You know what it means

What it means

What it means

What it means
