Lyrics Mirror Of Your Mind - Joe South

Who's that fool lookin' back at you
In the mirror of your mind?
Could it be the one you see
Whose name you've often signed?
Can you place the familiar face
You thought you left behind?

Take a real good look
In the mirror of your mind
Take a real good look
In the mirror of your mind, all right

Mm, my, my, my, ooh
Who's that clown bringin' you down
In the mirror of your mind?
Who's the one, that son of a gun
Who treats you so unkind?
Open your eyes and realize
How long you have been blind?

Take a real good look
In the mirror of your mind
Take a real good look
In the mirror of your mind

And realize that beauty lies
In the eyes of the beholder
And nobody's out to do you any harm
No, no, no, no
You can't go on just cryin' on
Somebody else's shoulder
When the helpin' hand is on the other end
Of your own arm, oh yeah

Now wait a minute, I wonder can you get to this
Now listen
Things in all directions are only your reflections
Everywhere you go you've got to reap just what you sow
All the world about you, within you and without you
Things that you have hated
They're the things that you created, now

Ah, yes
All right, wait

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the saddest one of all?
Mirror, mirror in my mind
Won't you, won't you help me find the truth?

I'd give everything I own to find the truth
Who I am and what I'm doin'
What I am and why?
Everything I touch I ruin
I don't know why I try
Keep lookin' for the truth

Now, won't you, won't you, won't you help me find the truth?
People tell me "Come join the crowd"
I think we found the way
But what they are shouts so loud
That I can't hear what they say
I'm talkin' 'bout the truth

Where in the world do you go to find the truth?
Seems I heard somebody mention
I don't know where or when
Switch a little part of your attention
From the outside to within

Who's that fool lookin' back at you
In the mirror of your mind?
I wanna know
Could it be the one you see
Whose name you've often signed?
Can you place the familiar face
You thought you left behind?

Take a real good look
In the mirror of your mind
Take a darn good look
In the mirror of your mind
Come on now, look
In the mirror in my mind
Won't you, won't you help me find the truth, now
In the mirror of my mind
Oh, whoa I don't mind
Take a look in the mirror, now
Take a look in the mirror, now
Take a look in the mirror, now
Whoa oh oh
