Allen Toussaint - Mean Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These salty tears falling from my eyes
He's a mean man, he's that kind of guy
I've been loving him since school days
At least for me, I should say fool days
After waitin' all this time
Thinkin' he would just be mine
He acts as if he doesn't know
Just how much I love him so

[Chorus]
Mean man
He's a cool man
Mean man
A break-the-rule man

[Verse 2]
Took me so long you know it's a sin
And I forgive him time and time again
Someday I may break these ties that bind
I see no hope for this soul of mine
When I try to face the truth
Tell myself I'll cut him loose
He puts his arm around me tightly
Ooh, he's so divine
[Chorus 2]
Mean man
Want no other man
Mean man
Be my lover man

[Verse 3]
Jimmy loved me and Henry too (Henry too)
But I still wait around for you-know-who
Just when I need him, he's a goner
But still my love keeps gettin' stronger
Oh, when I feel tired
He decides to come around
He acts as if he doesn't know
That I'm alive, he hurts me so

[Chorus 3]
Mean man
He's a sweet man
Mean man
[?] man
Mean man
He's a cool man
Mean man
I'll break the rule man
Mean man
Want no other man
