MEAN TO ME

Words & Music by Fred E. Ahlert & Roy Turk

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
Ev'ryone 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 a year
You always scold me whenever somebody is near, dear
It must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see what you mean to me
(Instrumental)
You treat me coldly each day in a year
You always scold me whenever somebody is near, dear
It must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't, for can't you see what you mean to me
