Mean Mean Woman

Mean Mean Woman
Words & Music by Jon Spear ©2014

I was on the midnight road, looking for a ride
Carryin’ such a heavy load, Lord I needed an easy ride
Such a lost and lonely soul – no future and the past
Nothing to look forward to – no, nothing that would last

Then I saw you standing there – so young and so fair
Looking like an angel with diamonds in your hair
I kissed you once, I kissed you twice – I held you in my arms
Got lost in your long dark hair, got lost in all your charms

CHORUS
You’re a mean mean woman – I knew that before we met
Mean mean woman, you’re gonna be the death of me yet
Mean mean woman, I should’ve known that I could never win
I don’t know why I ever let you under my skin

Yeah, I went out and I begged and stole, and I bought you a diamond ring
You told me that you’d soothe my soul, not to worry about a thing
Now I am all alone, all the night and all the day
No woman, you’re never home – I just get your bills to pay

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

I went out and I begged and stole, and I bought you a diamond ring
You told me that you’d soothe my soul, not to worry about a thing
Now I am all alone, all the night and all the day
No woman, you’re never home – I just get your bills to pay

REPEAT CHORUS
