Mean Old Man, lyric by Kris Kristofferson

from the songs album Repossessed

If i look like a mean old man that's what i am
If i look like a mean old man that's what i am
If i look like a mean old man
Who'll do you any way he can
To break your heart and kiss your hand
That's what i am

And if i look like a good old friend that's what i am
If i look like a good old friend that's what i am
If i look like a good old friend
Who's good at bending with the wind
To be your friend right to the end
That's what i am

Chorus:
And if i look like a voodoo doll that's what i am
If i look like a voodoo doll that's what i am
If i look like a voodoo doll
Who takes his licking standing tall
Who'd rather bite you back than crawl
That's what i am

If i look like your uncle bob that's what i am
If i look like your uncle bob that's what i am
If i look like your uncle bob
Who likes to slap you on the back and rob you
While he still can do the job
That's what i am

Chorus:
And if i look like a voodoo doll that's what i am
If i look like a voodoo doll that's what i am
If i look like a voodoo doll
Who takes his licking standing tall
Who'd rather bite you back than crawl
That's what i am
