[Chorus] 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

[Verse 1] 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

[Chorus] 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/buy?] the one you love
You'll have to use somebody else

[Instrumental] [Verse 2] 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

[Chorus] This is a mean old world
Tryin' livin' by yourself
This is a mean old world
Tryin' livin' by yourself
Can't get the one you love
You're gonna use somebody else

[Instrumental]
