Lyrics I Didn't Mean to Be Mean - Mental As Anything

It's hard to be a nice guy all the time
Everybody knows that guilty feeling
When you hurt the one you love
Yes I'm guilty of that crime

It's a strain to maintain that loving feeling
Even when you say don't be cruel
People being what they are there's danger
There's gun battles in the suburbs

I didn't mean to be mean oh no
I didn't mean to be mean oh no

It's hard to be a nice guy all the time
Everybody knows that guilty feeling
When you hurt the one you love
Yes I'm guilty of that crime

Now I wouldn't say I was no saint
But there are worse things that I ain't
My old mum will stand by me
And she's as true as she can be

I didn't mean to be mean oh no
I didn't mean to be mean oh no
I didn't mean to be mean oh no no no no
I didn't mean to be mean oh no
I didn't mean to be mean oh no
