I've got a mean woman, and she's always doing me wrong
Yes, you know she's mean, and she's always doing me wrong
I believe to my soul, I've got leave my home

She is a mean woman, oh, she never treats me right
Oh, mean and evil woman, and she never treats me right
Only go around every day, and don't come home 'til midnight

Lord, if only, only she would treat me fair
Oh, if I could get my baby, if could only get her to treat me fair
Oh, she would own me, yes, she would own me anywhere
