mean old world
Singer: ricky nelson
i walk in a crowd
hidin' 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 for 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
sometime's
my friends don't understand me
sometime's 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 realise
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
