Joan Armatrading - Mean Old Man lyrics

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
