Be Mean

[Verse 1]
They say you like the torture, honey, but don't forget the whip
My left hand's gettin' loose, but don't let me slip
You say you got some handcuffs, we'll throw out the key
I don't need a safe word, but you don't gotta save me

[Pre-Chorus]
If pain's what you like
Torture me all night

[Chorus]
Make love burnin', love how you keep me hurtin'
So, ooh-ooh, be mean, be mean to me, be mean to me
With that body, you got the right to get naughty
So, ooh-ooh, be mean, be mean to me, be mean to me

[Verse 2]
You say you gotta be the boss 'cause you pay them bills
There's a brand new position that someone's gotta fill (Pick me)
You say you need a whisper, you wanna hear me scream
Lookin' so smokin', honey, I can barely breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
If pain's what you like
Torture me all night

[Chorus]
Make love burnin', love how you keep me hurtin'
So, ooh-ooh, be mean, be mean to me, be mean to me
With that body, you got the right to get naughty
So, ooh-ooh, be mean, be mean to me, be mean to me

[Post-Chorus]
Would you promise that you'll always be mean, be mean to me?
Would you promise that you'll always be mean, be mean to me?

[Refrain]
You gotta be mean, baby
Listen up, hey

[Bridge]
Gladly, I'll take poison from your lips (From your lips)
Touch you when I burn my fingertips (Ah-ah)
I blame that to love, I must commit
If you want, then I'll submit, if you want, then I'll submit (Ow)

[Chorus]
Make love burnin', love how you keep me hurtin'
So, ooh-ooh, be mean, be mean to me, be mean to me
With that body, you got the right to get naughty
So, ooh-ooh, be mean, be mean to me, be mean to me

[Post-Chorus]
Would you promise that you'll always be mean, be mean to me?
Would you promise that you'll always be mean, be mean to me?
