(originally by Vonda Shepard)




I like the way you wanted me

Every night for so long, baby

I like the way you needed me

Every time the things got rocky, yeah



I was believing in you

Was I mistaken?

Do you mean,

Do you mean what you say?

When you say our love could last forever



Well, I'd rather you be mean

Than love and lie

I'd rather hear the truth

Than have to say goodbye

I'd rather take a blow

At least then I would know

But baby don't you break my heart slow



I like the way you'd hold me

Every night for so long, baby

I like the way you'd sing to me

Every time the things got rocky, yeah



I was believing in you

Was I mistaken?

Do you say,

Do you say what you mean?

When you say our love could last forever



Well, I'd rather you be mean

Than love and lie

I'd rather hear the truth

Than have to say goodbye

I'd rather take a blow

At least then I would know

But baby don't you break my heart slow



Oh, yeah, yeah



You'd run around

And lead me on forever

While I stay at home

Still thinking we're together

I want our love to last forever



But I'd rather you be mean

Than love and lie

I'd rather hear the truth

Than have to say goodbye

And I'd rather take a blow

At least then I would know

But baby don't you break my heart slow

Now baby don't you break my heart

Slow
