Lyrics:

Yes this is a mean old world
To try and live it by yourself
This is a mean old world
To try and live it by yourself
You can't get the one you love
And you have to go along with somebody else

Yes I hate to admit, woman
What a fool I used to be
Yes I hate to admit, woman
What a fool I used to be
The way I used to love you, darling
Honey, how bad you treated me

I said this is a mean old world
To try and live it by yourself
This is a mean old world
To try and live it by yourself
Can't get the one you love
Have to give it to somebody else
