Grown So Ugly By Robert Pete Williams

I got up this morning

And I put on my shoes

I tied 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 way forward

Got to break and run



Baby, this ain't me

Baby, this ain't me

Got so ugly I don't even know myself



I left Angola

1964

Go walking down my street

Knock on my baby's door

My baby come out

She asks me who I am

And I say, honey,

Don't you know your man?

She said my man's been gone

Since 1942

And I'll tell you Mr. Ugly,

He didn't look like you



[Repeat chorus]
