Mean Old World - Lyrics - B.b. King

This is a mean ole' world Baby, to live in all by yourself I said a mean, mean, mean ole' world To live in all by yourself When you can't get the woman you're loving Because she's loving somebody else I smile to keep from worrying And I laugh just to keep from crying Smile to keep from worrying Laugh just to keep from crying Trying to keep the public from knowing Baby, what I've got on my mind Someday, baby When the blood runs cold in my veins Someday, baby When the blood runs cold in my veins You won't be able to mistreat me no more then, baby 'Cause my heart won't feel no pain
