"It's A Mean World" lyrics - B.B. KING

This is a mean old world, baby to live in all by yourself
Yes it's a 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

Baby, I smile to keep from worryin' and I laugh just to keep from cryin'
Oh I smile to keep from worryin', baby and I laugh just to keep from cryin'

Well, that's to keep the public for knowin' what I got on my mind

Yes, someday baby, when the blood runs cold in my vein
Yes, someday baby, when the blood runs cold in my vein
Well, I hope You'll around by here to mistreat me baby, 'cause my heart it feel no pain
