I've Grown So Ugly

I've Grown So Ugly 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

Baby

This ain't me

Baby

This ain't me

Got so ugly I don't even know myself
