Sangtekst: Lou Rawls. Mean Old World.

Sometimes I get disgusted, yeah
My mind goes up and down
Sometimes I get disgusted
My mind goes round and round

Well, now my woman has quit me
Now I'm feelin' low down

This is a mean old world to live in
And I'm just travelin' through
This is a mean old world to live in
I'm just travelin' through

Sometimes I feel so lonely
I don't know what to do
Well, it's a mean old world

Well, if my baby comes back home
Everything is gonna be alright
If my baby comes back home
Everything is gonna be alright

Then I won't have to worry
No more late at night

I said, it's a mean old world
And I'm just travelin' through
Well, it's a mean old world
And I'm just travelin' through

If my baby comes on home
Then I won't be blue

Oh, it's a mean old world
I'm just traveling through
Mean, mean, mean, mean, mean
