Mean to Me

Sweetheart, I love you, think the world of you
But I'm afraid you don't care for me
You never show it, don't let me know it
Everyone says I'm a fool to be
Pining the whole day through
Why do you act like you do?

You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'
I don't know why I stay home
Each night when you say you'll phone
You don't and I'm left alone
Singin' the blues and sighin'
You treat me coldly each day in the year

You always scold me whenever somebody is near, dear
Now, it must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see what you mean to me?

Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin', yes
I don't cry, I stay home
Each night when you say you'll phone

And I'm left alone
Singin', singin' the blues and sighin'
You treat me coldly each day in the year
You always scold me whenever somebody is standin' near
Oh, it must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see just what you mean to me?
Honey, won't you ever see?
Honey, what you mean to me
Oh honey, can't you see how mean you are to me?
