Mean Old World
Navigating the Mean Old World: A Solitary Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
This is a mean old world
This world is harsh and unforgiving.
Try livin' by yourself
Living alone is challenging and difficult.
This is a mean old world
Reiteration of the harsh nature of the world.
Try livin' by yourself
Emphasizing the struggles of living in solitude.
Can't get the one you're lovin'
Unable to be with the person one loves.
Have to use somebody else
Resorting to being with someone else due to unattainable love.
I've got the blues
Expressing feelings of sadness and melancholy.
Gonna pack my things and go
Deciding to leave and move on because of the blues.
Yes, I've got the blues
Reaffirming the presence of the blues and the decision to leave.
Gonna pack my things and go
Continuation of the decision to pack up and leave.
Well, I guess you don't love me
Perceiving a lack of love from the other person.
You're lovin' Mr. So-And-So
Noticed the person is loving someone else, Mr. So-And-So.
Sometime I wonder why
Expressing curiosity about the coldness of the person's love.
Can your love be so cold
Questioning the emotional warmth of the love received.
Sometime I wonder why
Repeating the wonderment about the coldness of love.
Can your love be so cold
Reiterating the doubt regarding the warmth of love.
Seem like to me you don't want me
Feeling unwanted and unlucky in love.
I'm just an unlucky So-And-So
Perceiving oneself as an unfortunate individual in love.
