Every mor-orning when I wake from my bed

I find I'm yawnin' just a-scratchin' my head

I face the dawnin', I feel like I'm dead

Oh baby, I been sleeping all alone

Well, every daybreak as I wake from my sleep

I find I'm achin' as I drag from the deep

If I were a Mustang I'd be a junk-yard heap

If I were a Mustang, I think it's gone to my head

Mirror don't lie, mirror don't lie, talk about a rolling stone



And everbody said what's that sound, put it in a skillet and slap it all around
