Lyrics

Well, it's a mean old world
When you try to live it by yourself
Yeah, it's a mean old world
Try to live it by yourself
Can't get the one you love
Gonna have to use somebody else
I got the blues
Gonna pack my things and go
I got the blues
Gonna pack my things and go
Guess you don't love me
You're lovin' Mr. So-And-So
Well, it's a mean old world
When you try to live it by yourself
Yeah, it's a mean old world
When you try to live it by yourself
Can't find the one you love
You'll have to use somebody else
Someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
Someday, woman
When the blood runs cold in my veins
You can't hurt me no more
My heart can't feel no pain
This is a mean old world
Try livin' by yourself
This is a mean old world
Try livin' by yourself
Can't get the one you love
You're gonna use somebody else
