[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
That fool in my mirror singin' the same ole song
But it still don't change the fact that my baby is gone

[Verse 2]
I got wrinkles round my eyes, I got gray 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

[Chorus]
That fool in my mirror is singin' this same old song
But it still don't change the fact that my baby is gone

[Bridge]
Now I just figured out what she meant when she said
That she was not comin' back, so why don't I drop dead?

[Verse 3]
Well I can't live with him, good God I can't live without
I can't believe a word he says but I would not dare doubt him
He said, "Aw man, she just went off to get a loaf of bread
Say, you're losin' a little bit of weight, aren't you?"
[Chorus]
That fool in my mirror is singin' the same old song
But it still don't change the fact that my baby is gone

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Now I just figured out what she meant when she said
That she was not comin' back, so why don't I drop dead?

[Verse 4]
When I wake up every morning, Lord, and I go to brush my teeth
I got a fool in my mirror and he's lyin' to me
He says, "Oh man, she's comin' back, don't worry
You just hide and watch
Say, that gray looks real distinguished on you, man"
Lying son-of-a-bitch

[Chorus]
Well that fool in my mirror is singin' the same old song
But it still don't change the fact that my baby is gone
No, it still don't change the fact that my baby is gone
