Jimmie Vaughan - How Can You Be So Mean Lyrics

(Johnny Ace)

[Originally by Johnny Ace]

You said you love me, well, that's due.
When I'm gone you're kissin' someone new.
How can you be so mean? How can you be so mean?
You tell me, pretty baby, how can you be so mean.

My heart is a-heavy, so unkind.
Can't go on I'm a-losin' my mind.
How can you be so mean? How can you be so mean?
You tell me, pretty baby, how can you be so mean.

Oh-oh-oh, why do you cause me so much pain?
Don't you know you're driving me insane?
How can you be so mean? How can you be so mean?
You tell me, pretty baby, how can you be so mean.

[Instrumental break]

I'm so unhappy, blue as could be.
Don't you know that you're killin' me?
How can you be so mean? How can you be so mean?
You tell me, pretty baby, how can you be so mean.

[Short instrumental break]

So mean, so mean.
You tell me, pretty baby, how can you be so mean.
