This is a mean old world, baby to live in all by yourself
Yes it's a mean old world, baby to live in all by 
yourself
Yes, you can't get the woman you love and you have to put 
up with somebody else

Baby, I smile to keep from worryin' and I laugh just to 
keep from cryin'
to keep from cryin'
Well, that's to keep the public for knowin' what I got on 
my mind

Yes, someday baby, when the blood runs cold in my vein
Yes, someday baby, when the blood runs cold in my vein
Well, I hope You'll around by here to mistreat me baby, 
'cause my heart it feel no pain
