Cried a lotta blues up and down the street (I'd) lose everything I had but I would not lose the beat Oh yeah, oh no! Had a lotta lovin', bitter and the sweet Bring you up in glory, drop you in defeat Oh yeah, oh no! Oh what a world! chorus Oh, what a world we live in But it's the one we're given Stand up and face the trouble! Baby, I'm gonna love you And you can try to love me too Oh, yeah, oh, no! Oh, what a world! Middle of the night, wake up in a sweat The devil's gonna get me but he has not got me yet Oh yeah, oh no! Reach out and I hold you and we double up our love If I wind up down below you will you watch me from above? Oh, yeah oh, no! Oh, what a world! repeat chorus Oh, yeah! Baby keep hangin on Oh, no! Dont you ever let go Oh, yeah! There's a wind comin' up Oh, no! And the sun's bound to show Take you to the races, put our money down Pick up all our winnings, dance all over town Oh, yeah! oh, no! Oh, what a world! repeat chorus
