Mean Old Man Songtext
von Joan Armatrading

You hear me cry out
Won′t you save me
You smile to my face
Yet still deprave me
I need proof
You're a mean old man
Alright

In this semi-mad world
It′s best not to think
Roll in your boat
And you're bound to sink
You laugh with your mouth
But your eyes don't blink
You′re a mean old man
Alright


But the lord above
He knows that you lie
And your false complexion′s
Just another alibi
You laugh with your mouth
But your eyes don't blink
And I′m sure glad
I've seen through you
And it seems all my friends
Are coming to

You spell me green
Though the colour′s blue
The debt collector has his eyes on you

But the Lord above
He knows that you lie
And your false complexion's
Just another alibi
You laugh with your mouth
But your eyes don′t blink
And I'm sure glad
I've seen through you
And it seems all my friends
Are coming to
