Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I got a woman
Mean as she can be
I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She’s almost mean as me
A black cat up and died of fright
‘Cause she crossed his path last night
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She’s almost mean as me
She kiss so hard, she bruise my lips
Hurts so good, my heart just flips
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She’s almost mean as me
The strangest gal I ever had
Never happy ‘less she’s mad
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She’s almost mean as me
She makes love without a smile
Ooh, hot dog that drives me wild
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She’s almost mean as me
