Mean Old World Lyrics

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
Baby, I need someone
It′s a mean old world
Oh, I need someone
