Mean Streak

(album: Mean Streak - 1983)

Overtime everyday of the week
Still the house ain't big enough
Spend your money so fast
That you never see the green
Big, better, best tell me where does it end
Keeping up with the totals is tough
Better open your eyes, boy
She just wanna buy, buy, buy
Better wake up, boy, I'll tell you why

She got a mean streak
But you love her so much
You don't want to see her mean streak
Everybody knows she's got you on a leash
Mean streak, well she'll laugh in your face
But your kissing her feet
Your never good enough
In the eyes of a woman with a mean streak

Every time that I look at you, boy
I can see your a nervous wreck
You try to hard to give her every little thing
Big car, big pool, big house, heart attack
You better bend, or your gonna break
How far does it take you?
She just wanna buy, buy, buy
She's gonna break you, I'll tell you why

She got a mean streak
But you love her so much
You don't want to see her mean streak
Everybody knows she's got you on a leash
Mean streak, she'll laugh in your face
But your kissing her feet
Your never good enough
In the eyes of a woman with a mean streak

It could be different now
If you thought you'd say goodbye
But your too weak to try
Things won't change, 'til you open up your eyes
How could you be so blind?

She got a mean streak
But you love her so much
You don't want to see her mean streak
Everybody knows she's got you on a leash
Mean streak, well she'll laugh in your face
But your kissing her feet
Mean streak, your never good enough
In the eyes of a woman with a mean streak
Mean streak, mean streak, mean streak
