Mean Woman Blues
Revel in the Contradictions of Love with "Mean Woman Blues
Lyrics
I got a woman mean as she can be
I have a woman who is extremely mean.
I got a woman mean as she can be
Reiteration of the woman's extreme meanness.
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me.
At times, the speaker feels that she is almost as mean as he is.
A black cat up and died of fright
A black cat died of fright because the woman crossed its path.
'Cause she crossed his path last night
Illustrates the woman's perceived ability to bring bad luck.
Oh, I got a woman mean as she can be
Reiteration of the woman's extreme meanness.
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me.
Reiteration that she is sometimes nearly as mean as the speaker.
She kiss so hard she bruise my lips
The woman kisses so passionately that it causes physical harm.
Hurts so good my heart just flips
The pain from the passionate kiss is pleasurable in a paradoxical way.
I got a woman mean as she can be
Reiteration of the woman's extreme meanness.
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me.
Reiteration that she is sometimes nearly as mean as the speaker.
The strangest gal I ever had
The speaker describes the woman as the strangest he has ever had.
Never happy 'less she's mad
She is never happy unless she is angry.
Oh, I got a woman as mean as she can be
Reiteration of the woman's extreme meanness.
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me.
Reiteration that she is sometimes nearly as mean as the speaker.
She makes love without a smile
She engages in lovemaking without expressing joy or happiness.
Ooh, hot dog, that drives me wild
The intense lovemaking excites the speaker.
Oh, I got a woman mean as she can be
Reiteration of the woman's extreme meanness.
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me
Reiteration that she is sometimes nearly as mean as the speaker.
Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me
Reiteration that the woman is sometimes almost as mean as the speaker.
