I don't look mean cause I ain't I look mean cause I am But if you find me in a gutter you best be on your way You could say I saw him once he was not at his best But he sure could have had the best of me There are stories abound of witches and saints Which is almost always the same I'm a pauper to some Some say I'm a wealthy baron on the run But if you find me in an alley You should be the one to run So you fancy a gun I fancy some fun Why don't we find out who's got all the luck And it ain't just cause I drink or that I lost at love Maybe mean is just the way that I'm made up
