Lyrics Mean Old World - Sam Cooke

(Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum)

This is a mean old world to live in all, all by yourself
This is a mean old world to live in all, all by yourself
Whoa, yes, it is
This is a mean old world in amidst to be alone
Without a friend, kindred, or even a home
This is a mean old world to live in all, all by yourself

When you get in trouble, it's so nice
To look around and see a good friend standing there
Whoa, yes, it is
When you're in trouble, it's so nice
To look around and see a good friend standing right there
Oh, yes, it is
In trouble, it's so nice to see a friend standing there
Your troubles and trials, ready to help you to share
For this is a mean old, old world to live in all, all by yourself
Whoa

(This is a mean old) this is a mean old
(World to live in) world to live in
(All by yourself) all by, by, by, by (all by yourself) all by yourself
(This is a mean old) this is a mean old
(World to live in) world to live in all
(All by yourself) all by, by, by, by, (all by yourself) all by yourself

(This is a mean world) this is a mean world
(To be alone) in amidst to be alone
(Without a friend) without a friend
(Or kindred, or even a home) kindred, or even a home
I know, I know, I know, I know (this is a mean old)
I know it is (world to live in all by yourself, all by yourself) oh-oh-oh

(This is a mean old) this is a mean old
(World to live in) world to live in
(All by yourself) all by, by, by, by (all by yourself) all by yourself
(This is a mean old) this is a mean old
(World to live in) world to live in all
(All by yourself) all by, by, by, by, (all by yourself) all by yourself

(This is a mean world) this is a mean world
(To be alone) in amidst to be alone
(Without a friend) without a friend
(Kindred, or even a home) kindred, or even a home
I know, I know, I know, I know (this is a mean old)
I know it is (world to live in all by yourself, all by yourself)
