They say I've got a thing for being mean
But I don't really know that I'd agree
In my eyes I call it honesty
But I guess some people see it differently
I don't think that they like that I'm not afraid to
Speak up but now it's just how it's gotta be
I remember hearing that you like that
But if that's not the case then you should fight back
I really don't know why you got this whole act going
Say what you mean ain't no need to shy babe
I know that you hate when I am so frank
But at least you know it's love so baby relax
So I really think it's time you get this whole act gone
And say what you mean ain't no need to shy babe
You say that I should think twice
Before I open up my mouth let my words out
But you know that I am never without reason
I can't help it if they're acting kinda crazy
Babe it ain't my fault
My mama taught me to speak my piece as and when
It felt right, and you told me you liked my honesty
I remember hearing that you like that
But if that's not the case then you should fight back
I really don't know why you got this whole act going
Say what you mean ain't no need to shy babe
I know that you can hate when I am so frank
But at least you know it's love so baby relax
So I really think it's time you get this whole act gone
And say what you mean ain't no need to shy babe
It ain't my fault, you can't make up your mind
Don't need to be afraid, it really ain't that hard
Just tell me what your feeling babe
You know that you can trust me
So what you waiting for
So when I tell you, just know I mean it ohhhhh
I remember hearing that you like that
But if that's not the case then you should fight back
I really don't know why you got this whole act going
Say what you mean ain't no need to shy babe
I know that you can hate when I am so frank
But at least you know it's love so baby relax
So I really think it's time you get this whole act gone
And say what you mean ain't no need to shy babe
