  • Say what you will
    You can't take the stars at night
    Take your love
    But that doesn't stop my life
    You've been fooling around
    I looked to you for love
    Thought you walked on holy ground
    But oh, you're mean

    I thought that here
    Was a guy, brave and strong
    A brother to his brothers
    Brave ans strong
    Was preaching what to practice
    But that don't mean a thing
    You're mean

    Tall in the saddle
    One of these days you're gonna have to dismount
    You don't leave me downhearted
    But I'm sorry that you had to go
    'cause we had fun, fun, fun, fun
    Fun, fun, fun
    We had fun while it lasted
    We had fun while it lasted

    You were God's gift to girls
    You persuaded
    Then you beat up on their hearts
    You made it, you made it
    You made it, you made it
    Oh you're just mean

    Tall in the saddle
    One of these days you're gonna have to dismount
    You don't leave me downhearted
    But I'm sorry that you had to go
    'cause we had fun, fun, fun, fun
    Fun, fun, fun
    We had fun while it lasted
    We had fun while it lasted
