Mean Old World - Sam Cooke, The Soul Stirrers

This is a mean old world, to live in all by yourself, all by yourself

oh yes it is This is a mean old world, to live in, all by yourself

This is a mean old world to be alone

Without someone to call your own

This is a mean old world, to try and live, all by yourself

I wish I had someone, someone who’d love me true

If I had someone who loved me true

Then I know I wouldn’t be so blue

This is a mean old world to try and live in, all by yourself

No, this is a mean old world to live in, all by yourself

Sometimes I find myself dreamin I found a love

Sometimes I dream I really found a love

someone who loved me true as the stars above

For this is a mean old world to try and live in, all by yourself
