I gotta woman mean as she can be
I gotta woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's always mean with me
A black cat up got a fright
'Cause she crossed his path last night
I gotta woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's always mean with me


Kisses so hard she bruise my lips
Hurts so good my heart just slips
I gotta woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's always mean with me


Strangest girl I ever had
Never happy unless she's mad
I gotta woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's always mean with me


She makes love without a smile
Oh hot dog! It drives me wild
I gotta woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's always mean with me
