Mostly Mean

 

She’s an All Star, she’s the catcher

And she plays for the company team

She wears those short-shorts that make her look hot

And rumor has it she’s mostly mean, mostly mean

 

I’m a young blood on the corporate ladder

And I’ve got my heart set on the very top

I’ve got no time for falling in love, plus

The rumors have it I’m mostly mean, mostly mean

 

I don’t mean to say we fell in love last night

What I mean to say is the rumors aren’t right

 

‘Cause instead of mostly mean

Emerged this girl I’d never seen

And man I mean to tell you

She was really nice

 

Man I mean to tell you she was really nice

 

Now the corporate tower is abuzz about us

Cubicles are humming like a hive of bees

‘Cause the ivory tower, it runs on rumors

And the most successful ones are mostly mean, they’re mostly mean

 

I don’t mean to say we fell in love last night

What I mean to say is the rumors aren’t right

 

‘Cause instead of mostly mean

Emerged this girl I’d never seen

And man I mean to tell you

She was a delight

 

Man I mean to tell you she was pure delight

 

I’m a young blood on the corporate ladder

And I’ve got no time for falling in love

And I’m mostly mean

That rumor’s true

I’m mostly mean

NOTES ON THIS SONG
Have you heard Tom Waits? I love his music. This song was written while I was getting to know his Mule Variations album. If you don’t notice the influence, then I suppose I failed the song.
