Songtexte It's a Mean World (aka Mean Old World) - B.B. King

This is the mean old world
Baby, to live in all by yourself
This is the mean old world
Baby, to live in all by yourself
Yes, you can't get the woman you love
And you have to put up with somebody else

Babe, I smile to keep 'em worryin'
And I laugh just to keep 'em cryin'
Oh, I smile to keep 'em worryin'
Babe, and I laugh to keep 'em cryin'
Well, that's to keep the public from knowin'
Oh, what I got on my mind

Yes, someday, babe
Yes, when the blood run cold in my vein
Yes, someday, babe
Baby, when the blood run cold in my vein
Well, I won't be around anybody to mistreat me then, baby
'Cause my heart won't feel no pain
