Questions and Answers

[Chorus]
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
And hurt me so bad
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Slam the door so mad
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Had to be someone in your past
It ain't me and if I didn't love you
I wouldn't ask

[Verse 1]
Was I not nice like diamonds in the ice?
Was I not good? Loved you like I should
Didn't I hold you, keep you out the cold?
I kept all your secrets when you would bare your soul

[Chorus]
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Hurt me so bad
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Slam the door so mad
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Had to be someone in your past
It ain't me and if I didn't love you
I wouldn't ask

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, look out

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Did you like how he wouldn't call you back?
Did you like how another card in the stack?
Did you like being his woman, his woman on the side?
If that's the case, baby, excuse my foolish pride

[Chorus]
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Hurt me so bad
Why do you have to be so mean, woman?
Slam the door so mad
Why do you have to be so cruel?
Had to be someone in your past
It ain't me and if I didn't love you
I wouldn't ask

[Outro]
It ain't me and if I didn't love you
Oh, I wouldn't ask
