Mean lady, mean lady Mean lady, mean lady I'm happy, I'm sappy Head in the clouds all the time like it's my birthday everyday So why do you act like smiling's a crime You can't see the sunshine You're in the dark making everyone blind Don't hate me, just tell me Why do you have to be such a mean lady, mean lady? I miss you, I want you In my arms all the time, boy, it's so pretty, but I'm sitting By the telephone biding my time You call me, but I'm nervous Call you a name, I'm making you cry I'm sorry, so sorry Why do I have to be such a mean lady, mean lady? Why do I have to be such a mean lady, mean lady? Why do I have to be such a mean lady, mean lady? Why do I have to be such a mean lady, mean lady? Why?
