mean old man

Kris Kristofferson

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
