I swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth
loving him ain't easy
it's bad bad news, yeah
mamma says "use your head you don't need him,
look at all the shit he pulls you through"
papa calles "baby girl if you don't leave him
there's nothing I can do for you, there's nothing I can do\"
He's a mean man
but it's my man
my man alone
he's a mean, mean one
son of a gun
keeps me by the telephone
he's a mean man
my man, my man alone yeah
it's my man
