Karaoké Mean to Me Crowded House

She came all the way from America she had a blind date with destiny

And the sound of Te Awamutu had a truly sacred ring

Now her parents are divorced

And her friend's committing suicide

I could not escape a plea from the heart you know what it means to me

You said don't walk away

I'm down on my knees so please don't be mean to me

So I talked to you for an hour in the bar of a small town hotel

And you asked me what I was thinking

I was thinking of a padded cell

With a black and white T.V. to stop us from getting lonely

I could not escape a plea from the heart you know what it means to me

You said don't walk away down on my knees so please don't be mean to me

'Cos you know I could not escape a plea from the heart mysterious sympathy

I couldn't wait for a chance walk out the door

You know what it means to me, ah

Ah ah, I saw you lying in the arms of a poet, oh

I heard him tell you tah, tantalizing lies

What do you know

What do you know

I could not escape down on the floor you know what it means to me

I couldn't wait for a chance walk out the door mean, mean

I could not escape you're down on your knees you know what it means

What it means

I want to know whoa whoa whoa

What it means

What it means

In the arms of a poet you know what it means
