"I Mean it"

Brian R. Baer


Well, it's been some time, now, since everything was fine, and I sensed it.
So I grabbed her one day, and thenI sent her away, and then I meant it.

But now everything's changed and my brain's not the same.
Well, I've looked everywhere and it drives me insane,
Now that you're gone. Now that you're gone,
bum, bum, bum, bum, bum; bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

Well, if she'd come by, you know I'd give her the eye and then she’d see it.
And on that day, all my cares would go 'way, and I mean it.

All the nights we cried 'cause I'd been such a fool,
Would melt away when I'm back with you,
From that moment on, you'll have a love that's true,
And I mean it. Oh, yes, I mean it.
bum, bum, bum, bum, bum; bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

She'll be back some day and together we'll play--just like I dream it.
Then our lives will be fine, 'cause I'll walk the straight line, and I mean it.

Oh, yeah. Yes, I mean it, oh, ho!
Well, I mean it, I mean it, I mean it, I mean it, I mean it,
I mean it, mean it, mean it, mean it, mean it, mean it, mean it!
bum, bum, bum, bum, bum; bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
