Mean to Me - Ruth Etting

Sweetheart I love you

Think the world of you

But I’m afraid you don’t care for me You never show it Don’t let me know it Everyone says I’m a fool to be Pining the whole day through

Why do you act like you do?

You’re mean to me Why must you be mean to me?

Gee, honey, it seems to me You love to see me cryin'

I don’t know why

I stay home each night

When you say you’ll phone

You don’t and I’m left alone.

Singing the blues and sighin'.

You treat me coldly

Each day in the year

You always scold me Whenever somebody is near, dear

It must be great fun to be mean to me You shouldn’t, for can’t you see

What you mean to me You treat me coldly

Each day in the year

You always scold me Whenever somebody is near, dear

It must be great fun to be mean to me You shouldn’t, for can’t you see

What you mean to me
