LOOKIN' IN A MIRROR
(Nat Stuckey)



Nat Stuckey - 1968





Well, friend, you've got a lot you should be thankful for, but chances are you're not
You find it more exciting to find new love than to save the one you've got
Now, it's no concern of mine to ridicule or question what a fool might do
But it's like lookin' in a mirror watchin' me go off the deep end watchin' you

You'll find a way to wipe your conscience clean the way you always have before
The other woman's lips are warm, but won't be worth rememb'ring anymore
Now, the woman that you've got is worth a hundred more like her, you know it's true
It's like lookin' in a mirror watchin' me go off the deep end watchin' you

It wasn't just the atmosphere that brought you here, it's the company you find
You came lookin' for a woman to hold close and pretty hands to pour your wine, 
and smudge your mind

The woman that you're cheatin' on was cheated on when she belonged to me
Until she walked in here one night and saw what she had been too blind to see
And it's too bad you weren't more careful 'cause that's her there in the doorway 
lookin' through
It's like lookin' in a mirror watchin' me go off the deep end watchin' you
It's like lookin' in a mirror watchin' me go off the deep end watchin' you
