Na na nan na
Na na nan na
I swear to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth
loving him ain't easy
he's bad bad news
Mama says use your headyou don't need him
Look at all the shithe put you through
Papa curses 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, my man alone
He's a mean mean one
a son of a gun
he keeps me by the telephone
He's a mean man, my man
my man, my man alone
He's my man
My mean man
He likes to mess around
He's always in the mess
Likes to have a drink or two
'fore he downs the rest yeah
Knock knock six o'clock in the morning
Baby I'll be missing you
He comes and goes without a warning
doing what he do hmm
Doing what he do
He's a mean man but it's my man
my man, my man alone
He's a mean mean one
a son of a gun
he keeps me by the telephone
He's a mean man, my man
my man, my man alone
He's my man
My mean man
He lies and he cheats
He loves and he leaves
That's just the way it goes
But I do what I can
I stand by my man
I think he loves me
I think he knows
I think he knows
He's a mean man but it's my man
my man, my man alone
He's a mean mean one
a son of a gun
he keeps me by the telephone
He's a mean man, my man
my man, my man alone
He's a mean man my man
my man my man alone
