  • I like the way you wanted me
    Every night for so long baby
    I like the way you needed me
    Every time things got rocky

    I was believing in you
    Am I mistaken do you say,
    Do you say what you mean
    I want our love to last forever

    But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
    I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
    I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
    But baby don't you break my heart slow

    I like the way you'd hold me
    Every night for so long baby
    And I like the way you'd say my name
    In the middle of the night
    While you were sleeping

    I was believing in you
    Was I mistaken
    Do you mean, mean what you say
    When you say our love could last forever

    Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
    I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
    I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
    But baby don't you break my heart slow

    You would run around and lead me on forever
    While I wait at home thinking that we're together
    I wanted our love to last forever

    Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
    I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
    I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
    But baby don't you break my heart slow Writer/s: JAMES NEWTON HOWARD, VONDA SHEPARD
