Mean Man Lyrics

I love a mean mean man
He lives uptown
WhenI want him most
He's not around
[Chorus]
He's a mean mean man
Whoooo! Lordy he's a mean mean man
He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can
Oh well, he calls at six
He wants a date at eight
But he's never on time
He's always late
Well, then we go to a dance
He holds me real tight
But then he don't even kiss me goodnight
I-I-I know I'm a fool
To love that man
But I'm a-gonna love him as long as I can
I-I-I know I'm a fool
To love that man
But I'm gonna love him as long as I can
He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can
He's a mean mean man but I love him all I can

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
