I got a woman, mean as she can be.

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. 
#5. 
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.
