Lyrics for Mean Old World
This is a mean old world, to live in, all by yourself This is a mean old world, to live in, all by yourself This is a mean old world to be alone Without someone to call your own This is a mean old world, to try and live in, all by yourself I wish I had someone, someone who'd love me true I wish I had someone, someone who'd love me true If I had someone who loved me true Then I know I wouldn't be so blue This is a mean old world to try and live in, all by yourself No, this is a mean old world to live in, all by yourself Mean old world, to live in, all by yourself This is a mean old world to be alone Without someone to call your own A mean old world, to try and live in, all by yourself Sometimes I find myself dreamin I found a love Sometimes I find myself dreamin I found a love Sometimes I dream I really found a love Someone who loved me true as the stars above For this is a mean old world to try and live in, all by yourself
