Be Mean Song Lyrics

Be Mean by DNCE

[Verse 1] They say you like the torture, honey
But don’t forget the whip
My left hand’s getting loose
But don’t let me slip
You said you got some handcuffs
We’ll throw out the key
I don’t need a safe word
But you don’t gotta save me
[Pre-Chorus] If pain’s what you like
Torture me all night
[Chorus] Keep on burnin’
Love how you keep me hurting
So ooh-ooh be mean, be mean to me
Be mean to me
With that body, you got the right to get naughty
So ooh-ooh be mean, be mean to me
Be mean to me
[Verse 2] Say you gotta be the boss
‘Cause you pay them bills
There’s a brand new position
Someone’s gotta fill (pick me)
Say you need a whisper
You wanna hear me scream
Lookin’ so smokin’
Honey, I can barely breathe
[Pre-Chorus] If pain’s what you like
Torture me all night
[Chorus] Keep on burnin’
Love how you keep me hurting
So ooh-ooh be mean, be mean to me
Be mean to me
With that body, you got the right to get naughty
So ooh-ooh be mean, be mean to me
Be mean to me
Would you promise that you’ll always be mean, be mean to me?
Would you promise that you’ll always be mean, be mean to me?
[Bridge] (You gotta be mean, baby, listen up, hey)
Gladly I’d take poison from your lips (from your lips)
Touch you when I burn my fingertips, ah, ah
I blame that to love, I must commit
If you want, then I’ll submit
If you want, then I’ll submit
(Ow!)
[Chorus] Keep on burnin’
Love how you keep me hurting
So ooh-ooh be mean, be mean to me
Be mean to me
With that body, you got the right to get naughty
So ooh-ooh be mean, be mean to me
Be mean to me
Would you promise that you’ll always be mean, be mean to me?
Would you promise that you’ll always be mean, be mean to me? Reference: DNCE’s ‘Be Mean’ on Billboard
