It's a Mean Old Man's World

Oh, when you hear a woman, hear a woman cry

And she cries all night long

You can bet your bottom dollar

That some no-good-man has a, done her wrong

Same thing when you hear a woman shout

You can bet it's some old man she's a, shouting about

I say, ain't it a mean old man, mean old man's world

I say, ain't it a mean old man, mean old man's world

Oh, God, it's a mean old man, mean old man's world

It's a mean old man, mean old man's world

I'm gonna ask you one more time girls to sanction

Ain't it a mean old man, mean old man's world?

You see, man has held the world in the palm of his hand

It's been that way ever since the world began

I'm so thankful for the day

When man started fooling 'round with a mean dog's way

'Cause you want to be boss

That you understand

'Cause it says woman was made for nothing but man

I ask you, ain't it, I ask you, ain't it, I ask you, ain't it

One more time, ain't it

Ain't it a mean old man, ain't it a mean, ain't it a mean

Lordy, it's a mean, mean old man's world?
