It's A Mean Old Man's World

It's A Mean Old Man's World - Dinah Washington

Written by：Woods/Kirkland/Washington

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 ain't it a mean 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 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

Lord mean mean old man's world
