words by Vonda Shepard music by Vonda Shepard James Newton Howard
I like the way you wanted me Every night for so long baby I like the way you needed me Every time things got rocky
I was believing in you Am I mistaken do you say, Do you say what you mean I want our love to 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
I like the way you'd hold me Every night for so long baby And I like 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, mean what you say When you say our love could last forever
Well 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
(Bridge) You would run around and lead me on forever While I wait at home thinking that we're together I wanted our love to last forever
Well 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
