Grown So Ugly

I got up this morning

And I put on my shoes

I tied my shoes

I went to the mirror

For to comb my hair

I made a move

Didn't know what to do

Got to break and run



Baby, this ain't me

Baby, this ain't me

Grown so ugly

Grown so ugly

I don't even know myself

I don't even know myself



I left Angola

1964

Walking down my street

Knock on my baby's door

My baby come out

And asks me who I am

And I say, honey

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
