Mean Ole' World Lyrics - B.b. King

This is a mean ole' world 

Baby, to live in all by yourself 

I said a mean, mean, mean ole' world 

To live in all by yourself 

When you can't get the woman you're loving 

Because she's loving somebody else 

I smile to keep from worrying 

And I laugh just to keep from crying 

Smile to keep from worrying 

Laugh just to keep from crying 

Trying to keep the public from knowing 

Baby, what I've got on my mind

Someday, baby 

When the blood runs cold in my veins 

Someday, baby 

When the blood runs cold in my veins 

You won't be able to mistreat me no more then, baby 

'Cause my heart won't feel no pain
