Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Grown So Ugly
[Verse 1]
I got up this morning
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 way forward
Got to break and run

[Chorus]
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Baby, this ain't me
Baby, this ain't me
Got so ugly I don't even know myself

[Verse 2]
I left Angola
1964
Go walking down my street
Knock 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 1942
And I'll tell you Mr. Ugly
He didn't look like you"
[Chorus]
Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Baby, this ain't me
Baby, this ain't me
Got so ugly I don't even know myself
