Fool In The Mirror - Guy Clark

Well I wake up every morning Lord and what do I see

I got a fool in my mirror and he’s lyin' to me

He says aw man she’s comin' back you just hide and watch

That fool in my mirror singin' the same ol' song

But it still don’t change the fact that my baby is gone

I got wrinkles round my eyes I got grey in my hair

I’m puttin' on a little bit of weight but I don’t seem to care

Fool say hey slick you lookin' good lie lie lie

That fool in my mirror singin' the same old song

But it still don’t change the fact that my baby is gone

Now I just figured out what she meant when she sid

And she was not comin' back so why don’t I drop dead

Well I can’t live with him I can’t live without him

I can’t believe a word he says but I don’t dare doubt him

He says aw man she just went off to get a loaf of bread

Say you losin' a litle bitty weight aren’t you

That fool in my mirror singin' the same old song

But it still don’t change the fact that my baby is gone

Now I just figured out what she meant when she sid

And she was not comin' back so why don’t I drop dead

Well I wake up every morning Lord and what do I see

I got a fool in my mirror and he’s lyin' to me

He says oh man she’s comin' back don’t worry

That fool in my mirror singin' the same old song

But it still don’t change the fact that my baby is gone

But it still don’t change the fact that my baby is gone
