Lyrics
- Shame on you
Don’t your conscience bother you?
Truthfully, honestly
Was that the thing to do?
Chorus
Oh, the meanest thing you ever did was kiss me
When you didn’t mean your kisses at all
Makin’ love to me that way
Just to pass the time of day
Wha’d ja wanna act so smart for?
Wha’d ja wanna steal my heart for?
It was just like takin’ candy from a baby
I forgive you but I’ve got to tell you this
‘Bout the meanest thing you ever did was kiss me
Then leave me cryin’ for another kiss
- What a sin
What a meanie you have been
Treating me, shamefully
Oh, what a spot I’m in
