words by Vonda Shepard

music by Vonda Shepard & James Newton Howard

album "Heart and Soul: New Songs from Ally McBeal"

I was believing in you

Was I mistaken,

Do you say, do you say what you mean

I want our love to last forever

But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie

I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye

I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know

But baby you should break my heart slow

I like the way you'd hold me

Every night for so long baby

And I like the way you'd say my name

In the middle of the night

While you were sleeping

I was believing in you

Was I mistaken

Do you mean, do you mean what you say

When you say our love could last forever

Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie

I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye

I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know

But baby don't you break my heart slow

You would run around and lead me on forever

While I wait at home still thinking that we're together

I wanted our love to last forever

I was believing in you

Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie

I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye

I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know

But baby don't you break my heart slow
