Crowded House - Mean To Me lyrics

She came all the way from america 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 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 She said don't walk away I'm down on my knees So please don't be mean to me No, i could not escape A plea from the heart Mysterious sympathy I couldn't wait for a chance To 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 t...tantalising lies Well whad'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 To walk out the door Mean... You know what it means In the arms of a poet You know what it means
