[Verse 1]
What did I do? Tell me what did I say
That kicked up the dirt and brought out this side of you, baby?
It's one of those moods, yeah, it's one of those days
What kind of dark snuck up and took a bite of you, baby?
[Pre-Chorus]
The longer it goes, well, the shorter your fuse
Maybe you'd know if you walked in my shoes
Damned if I don't and I'm damned if I do, oh
[Chorus]
Cold as the concrete
Tough as a backstreet
Like a frat boy at hell week
Babe, you got a mean streak
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
Fire in the hole and a hole in my heart
You're on a roll and I'm taking cover now, baby
Where does it end and where do I start
To soften the sting? One way or another now, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Be good to me, honey, I'm on your side
I'm gonna bend, gonna let a lot slide
But, hey, what's the deal with your Jekyll and Hyde?
[Chorus]
Rough as a dry creek
Sharp as a hawk's beak
Coming fast as a stampede
Babe, you got a mean streak
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Bridge]
(There in your shadows)
(Save room for me)
[Pre-Chorus]
The longer it goes, well, the shorter your fuse
Maybe you'd know if you walked in my shoes
Damned if I don't and I'm damned if I do
[Chorus]
Hard as an oak tree
Mad as a queen bee
Hot as Majave
Yeah, it burns like a dry heat
Tight as a kite string
Bad as a black sheep
Sure as a heartbeat
Babe, you got a mean streak
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Outro]
(There in your shadows)
(Save room for me)
(There in your shadows)
(Save room for me)
