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
