Diana Ross - (I'm A) Mean Ole Lion lyrics

(Charlie Smalls)

Say what you wanna

But I'm here to stay

'Cause I'm a mean ole lion

You can go where you're gonna

But don't get in my way

I'm a mean ole lion

You'll be standing in a draft

If you don't hear me laugh

And if you happen to come around

Well, you best not make me frown

For I just might knock you down

I'm a mean ole lion

You know I'm ready to fight

And turn your day into night

'Cause I'm a mean ole lion

If you're half bright

You'll detour to the right

From a mean ole lion

All you strangers better beware

This is the king of the jungle here

And if I happen to let you slide

Don't just stand here

Run and hide

You just caught my better side

I'm a mean ole lion

Look,

You better beware

This is the king of the jungle here

And if I happen to let you slide

Don't stand here

Run and hide

You just caught my better side

I'm a mean ole lion

I'm a mean ole lion
