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
 'Cos 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
 'Cos we had fun, fun, fun, fun
 Fun, fun, fun
 We had fun while it lasted
 We had fun while it lasted
