From the recording Test Drive (Deluxe)
Lyrics
Fighting plea- pleading
You got me
Fighting plea- pleading
Fight fighting plea- plea- pleading
Up in the clouds
So naive of what's around me
Taking for granted
The ones who are uplifting
Feeling the praise
Then I'm put in my place
(pu- pu- put in my place)
Pull out the pin
Did you mean to burst my bubble
Shallow intentions
Will get you into trouble
Building up rage
Being trapped in a cage
Feel like a coward
Outside I act so tough
Don't have the power
To raise my mood back up
How could you be like that?
I thought we were friends
I'm under pressure
Got all these eyes on me
Under the weather
From all this lack of sleep
And I never thought
That I'd be happy again
You have the right to remain silent
But you always speak
Don't matter who get hurt
The damage always stay
But you leave
You got me fighting pleading begging
Screaming "Mercy me"
Please spare me today
Oh Mr. Mean
I've never had no trouble
Wearing out my heart on my sleeve
Some people take advantage
Cut you up like surgery
You got me fighting pleading begging
Screaming "Mercy me"
Please spare me today
Oh Mr. Mean
Stuck on the ground
Emotions flowing over
How could a living soul
Go any lower
We're one in the same
Do you feel no shame bring me down?
And you know
You know
I won't do nothing about it
I know
I know
I can't do nothing about it
Sit back
Relax
And watch as I get torn open
(Ha Ha)
(Ha Ha Ha)
Feel like a coward
Outside I act so tough
Don't have the power
To raise my mood back up
You did me wrong
I used to call you a friend
(Call you a friend)
I'm under pressure
Got all these eyes on me
Under the weather
From all this lack of sleep
And I never thought
That I'd be happy again
(Never thought that I'd be happy again)
Oh
No
Oh
Oh
Oh Mr. Mean
You have the right to remain silent
But you always speak
Don't matter who get hurt
The damage always stay
But you leave
You got me fighting pleading begging
Screaming "Mercy me"
Please spare me today
Oh Mr. Mean
I've never had no trouble
Wearing out my heart on my sleeve
Some people take advantage
Cut you up like surgery
You got me fighting pleading begging
Screaming "Mercy me"
Please spare me today
Oh Mr. Mean
You got me
Fighting plea- pleading
Fight fighting plea- plea- pleading
Oh
Fighting plea- pleading
Fight fighting plea- plea- pleading
Oh
Fighting plea- pleading
Fight fighting plea- plea- pleading
Oh
Fighting plea- pleading
Fight fighting plea- plea- pleading
