"Lookin' In The Mirror" lyrics

"Lookin' In The Mirror"

It wasn't long ago we were in the spring of life
So happy with each other, thought our love was satisfied
Oh, how could I have known that you had a wanderin' eye?
You were waitin' on a better deal and biding your time
Said you need a younger man to hold you in his arms
With a younger man's style and a younger man's charms
Well, thrill him while you can, my
Dear, because it won't last for long
When your age catches up with you, the young man's good as gone

Time can take its toll in so many different ways
I get more distinguished, you grow old and gray
You're gonna wish you had me back when your beauty starts to fade
Me, I'm lookin' in the mirror, lookin' better every day

I can't say I've had much trouble filling up my nights
Seems to me my experience is every gal's delight
That's just the laws of nature, no, I didn't make the rules
See this lover's game is custom made for gettin' older you

Time can take its toll in so many different ways
I get more distinguished, you grow old and gray
You're gonna wish you had me back when your beauty starts to fade
Me, I'm lookin' in the mirror, lookin' better every day

I saw you on the street today with an old look in your eye
You asked if we might get together and out and have a drink sometime
That made me smile from ear to ear, how funny life can be
And thank you but no thank you, dear, I'm out of your league

Time can take its toll in so many different ways
I get more distinguished, you grow old and gray
You're gonna wish you had me back when your beauty starts to fade
Me, I'm lookin' in the mirror, lookin' better every day
Me, I'm lookin' in the mirror, lookin' better every day
