Mean Old Man Lyrics - 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
