[Verse 1]
Yeah, this is a mean old world, to try to live in all by yourself
This is a mean old world, to try to live in all by yourself
When you can't have the one you really love
Have to use somebody else

[Verse 2]
Last night, I lost the best girl I ever had
Last night, I lost the best girl I ever had
That is why this evening, that is why I feel so bad

[Break]

[Verse 3]

I got the blues, baby, I got to pack my few rags and go
I know you don't really love me, darling
Ya out balling Mr. So-and-So
