       E
Well I wake up every morning Lord and what do I see
        E
I got a fool in my mirror and he's lyin' to me
   A                              E   
He says "Aw man she's comin' back, you just hide and watch"
     B
That fool in my mirror is singin' the same ol' song
       G                      A                    E
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


Chorus:
    A
Now I just figured out what she meant when she said
        B 
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

Chorus

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
