Mean To Me

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 You said, "Don't walk away I'm down on my knees Well, 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 Well, please don't be mean to me'€ Didn't know, I could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance To walk out the door You know what it means to me I saw you lying in the arms of a poet I heard him tell you tantalizing lies Whad'd'ya know, whad'd'ya 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 I'm down on my knees You know what it means, what it means What it means, what it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means
