Maybe I Should Look in the Mirror
Copyright 1999 Wayne Severson

When I was young I seldom went without love
My hair was long my clothes fit like a glove
I'd walk the walk and let them talk about me
I had a look that fit the times I'd drive the girls crazy
Yeah I was something to see

Now the prettiest girl I ever seen she loved me
We got married and I dropped from the scene
Eleven years I gave her then she dumped me
I didn't care I figured there's more fish in the sea

I walk into a bar I turn my charms on
A lovely lady laughs and then she's gone
I flash a smile across the crowded dance floor
The girls there all turn away how can they ignore
A man like me who always used to score

Could it be they don't even see me
Even when I'm standing so near
Can it be they all see right through me
I must be invisible maybe I should look in the mirror

I see I'm old and grey I've got a bald spot
The clothes I wear are what my mother bought
My teeth are stained my eyes are sad and empty
It could be true I've gained a pound or two maybe three
But who's that old man starin' back at me

Could it be that's why my woman left me
Even though I bought all the beer
Can it be she saw right through me
I must have been invisible maybe I should look in the mirror
Maybe I should look in the mirror
Maybe I should look....
in the mirror
