Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
And hurt me so bad
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Slam the door so mad
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Had to be someone in your past
It ain't me and if I didn't love you
I wouldn't ask

Was I not nice like diamonds in the ice?
Was I not good?
Loved you like I should
Didn't I hold you, keep you out the cold?
I kept all your secrets
When you would bare your soul

Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Hurt me so bad
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Slam the door so mad
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Had to be someone in your past
It ain't me and if I didn't love you
I wouldn't ask
Oh, look out

Did you like how he wouldn't call you back?
Did you like how another card in the stack?
Did you like being his woman
His woman on the side?
If that's the case, baby
Excuse my foolish pride

Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Hurt me so bad
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Slam the door so mad
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Had to be someone in your past
It ain't me and if I didn't love you
I wouldn't ask

It ain't me and if I didn't love you
Oh, I wouldn't ask
Time to tell the truth
