You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that آپ use against me
آپ have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
آپ picking on the weaker man

آپ can take me down with just one single blow
But آپ don't know, what آپ don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so آپ can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why آپ gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
آپ have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block آپ out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again

I bet آپ got pushed around
Somebody made آپ cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause آپ can't lead me down that road
And آپ don't know, what آپ don't know...

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so آپ can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why آپ gotta be so mean?

And I can see آپ years from now in a bar
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old کڑوا, تلخ things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all آپ are is mean

All آپ are is mean
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so آپ can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why آپ gotta be so?..

Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city (Why آپ gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why آپ gotta be so?..)
Someday I'll be big enough so آپ can't hit me (Why آپ gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why آپ gotta be so mean?
