Grown So Ugly
I got up this mornin'
And I put on my shoes
I strung my shoes
Then I washed my face
I went to the mirror
For to comb my head
I made a move
Didn't know what to do
I tipped away forward
Got to break and run
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Baby, this ain't me
Baby, this ain't me
Got so ugly I don't even know myself
I left Angola
Nineteen sixty-four
Go walking down my street
Knocked upon my baby's door
My baby come out
She asks me who I am
And I say, honey
Honey, don't you know your man?
She said my man's been gone
Since nineteen forty-two
And I'll tell you Mr. Ugly
He didn't look like you
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Baby, this ain't me
Baby, this ain't me
Got so ugly I don't even know myself
