Mean To Me

[00:00.77] She came all the way from America
[00:04.75] She had a blind date with destiny
[00:09.14] And the sound of Te Awamutu
[00:13.11] Had a truly sacred ring
[00:17.25] Now her parents are divorced
[00:21.30] And her friend's committing suicide
[00:24.98] I could not escape
[00:26.96] A plea from the heart
[00:29.08] You know what it means to me
[00:32.44] You say I don't walk away
[00:34.78] I'm down on my knees
[00:37.02] So please don't be mean to me
[00:41.45] So I talked to you for an hour
[00:45.66] In the bar of a small town hotel
[00:49.71] And you asked me what I was thinking
[00:53.85] I was thinking of a padded cell
[00:57.95] With a black and white TV
[01:02.33] To stop us from getting lonely
[01:05.49] I could not escape
[01:07.54] A plea from the heart
[01:09.59] You know what it means to me
[01:13.12] You said don't walk away
[01:15.74] I'm down on my knees
[01:17.48] So please don't be mean to me
[01:21.26] You know I could not escape
[01:23.73] A plea from the heart
[01:25.73] Mysterious sympathy
[01:29.38] I couldn't wait for a chance
[01:31.85] To walk out the door
[01:34.05] You know what it means to me
[01:38.37] I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
[01:55.52]
[01:59.22] I heard him tell you ta-tantalizing
[02:02.71] Lies
[02:05.23]
[02:07.41] What d'ya know
[02:08.84] What d'ya know
[02:09.66] I could not escape
[02:11.63] You're down on the floor
[02:13.82] You know what it means to me
[02:17.13] I couldn't wait for a chance
[02:19.31] To walk out the door
[02:22.57] Mean
[02:23.63] Mean
[02:25.53] I could not escape
[02:27.73] I'm down on my knees
[02:29.68] You know what it means
[02:33.46] What it means
[02:37.31]
[02:41.00] I wanna know-oh-oh-oh
[02:46.37]
[02:53.64] What it means, what it means
[02:59.85]
[03:03.09] In the arms of a poet
[03:05.07] You know what it means
[03:06.38]
