Mean Ole' World            
             
This is a mean ole' world 
Baby, to live in all by yourself 
I said a mean, mean, mean ole' world 
To live in all by yourself 
When you can't get the woman you're loving 
Because she's loving somebody else 

I smile to keep from worrying 
And I laugh just to keep from crying 
Smile to keep from worrying 
Laugh just to keep from crying 
Trying to keep the public from knowing 
Baby, what I've got on my mind 

Someday, baby 
When the blood runs cold in my veins 
Someday, baby 
When the blood runs cold in my veins 
You won't be able to mistreat me no more then, baby 
'Cause my heart won't feel no pain
