I swear to tell the truth

And nothing but the truth

Loving him ain't easy

He's bad bad news

Mama says use your head

You don't need him

Look at all the s**t he pulled you through

Papa curses baby girl if you don't leave him

There's nothing I can do for you

There's nothing I can do

He's a mean man but he's my man

My man alone

He's a mean mean one

A son of a gump

He keeps me by the telephone

He's a mean man my man my man alone

Na na nan na

He's my man

Na na nan na

My mean man

Na na nan na

He likes to mess around

He's always in the mess

Likes to have a drink or two

Before he gets down to rest

Knock knock six o'clock in the morning

Baby I'll be missing you

He comes and goes without a warning

Doing what he do hmm

Doing what he do

He's a mean man but he's my man

My man alone

He's a mean mean one

A son of a gump

He keeps me by the telephone

He's a mean man my man my man alone

Na na nan na

He's my man

Na na nan na

My mean man

He lies and he cheats

He loves and he leaves

That's just the way it goes

But I do what I can

I stand by my man

I think he loves me

I think he knows

I think he knows

He's a mean man but he's my man

My man alone

He's a mean mean one

A son of a gump

He keeps me by the telephone

He's a mean man my man

My man alone

He's a mean man my man

My man my man alone
