John Mellencamp Mean song lyrics

I’m not following your frame of mind

Complaining about this life all the time

Surely something good here as the world spins by

Could you please stop being so mean

This will never work out that’s what you say

It’s the end of the world again yesterday

When I see you coming at me I’m gonna walk away

You need to stop being so mean

Your outlook is haunting us all

Like the ghost of our love down at the dark end of the hall

If you can’t say nothing good then don’t say nothing at all

And you need to stop being so mean

Your road seems so narrow to me

You’re a big boat up the river blowing off steam

My head is spinning from your company

Could you please stop being so mean

I’m not following your frame of mind

Complaining about this life all the time

Surely something good here as the world spins by

Could you please just stop being so mean
