Mean Old World

I walk in a crowd
Hiding tears I can’t cry out loud
I can’t let them see me cry
'Cause they don’t care, if I live or die
And it’s a mean old world
Let me tell you
It’s a mean old world
When you need someone
I sit in my room
It’s a room filled with gloom
I sit and wait by the telephone
But no one cares, if I’m all alone
And it’s a mean old world
Let me tell you
It’s a mean old world
When you need someone
Sometimes, my friends
Don’t understand me
Sometimes they
Can be so cruel
All I hope is
Someday I’ll find
Someone to love
My whole life through
I walk down the street
Hide my face from the people I meet
They don’t see the tears in my eyes
They don’t care or even realize
That it’s a mean old world
Let me tell you
It’s a mean old world
When you need someone
It’s a mean old world
When you need someone
It’s a mean old world
Babe, I need someone
It’s a mean old world
Oh, I need someone
