Crowded House - Mean To Me текст песни

She came all the way from America
She had a blind date with destiny
And the sound of Te Awamutu
Had a truly sacred ring
Now her parents
Are divorced
And her friend’s committing suicide
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don’t walk away
I’m down on my knees
So please don’t be mean to me
So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
And you asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T. V
To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
You said don’t walk away
I’m down on my knees
So please don’t be mean to me
You know I could not escape
A plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn’t wait for a chance
Walk out the door
You know what it means to me
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
I heard him tell you ta… tantalizing
Lies
What’d’ya know
Whad’d’ya know
I could not escape
You’re down on the floor
You know what it means to me
I couldn’t wait for a chance
Walk out the door
Mean…
Mean…
I could not escape
Down on my knees
You know what it means
What it means
What it means
In the arms of a poet
You know what it means
