Man In The Mirror

Written by Siedah Garrett and Glen Ballard

I'm gonna make a change

for once im my life

It's gonna feel real good

gonna make a diference

Gonna make it right

As I turn up the collar on

my favorite winter coat

This wind is blowing my mind

I see the kids in the streets

with not enought to eat

Who am I to be blind?

Pretending not to see their needs

A summer disregarda broken bottle top

And a one man soul

They follow each other on the wind ya' know

'Cause they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know

I'm asking him to change his ways

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself and then make a change

(Take a look at yourself and then make a change)

(Na na na na na na na na na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love

It's time that I realize

That there are some with no home not a nickel to loan

Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred somebody's broken heart

And a washed-out dream

(Washed-out dream)

They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see

'Cause they got no place to be

That's why I'm starting with me

(Starting with me!)

(Ooh!)

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Ooh!)

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself and then make a change

(Take a look at yourself and then make a change)

(Ooh!)

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Change his ways - ooh!)

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make that

(Take a look at yourself and then make that)

CHANGE!

(Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!)

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Better change!)

No message could have been any clearer

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)

(You gotta get it right while you got the time)

('Cause when you close your heart)

You can't close your your mind!

(Then you close your mind!)

That man that man that man that man

(Man in the mirror oh yeah!)

That man that man that man

I'm asking him to change his ways

(Better change!)

You know that man

No message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

(If you wanna make the world a better place)

Take a look at yourself and then make the change

(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Na na na na na na na na na nah

(Ooooh)

Oh no no no

I'm gonna make a change

It's gonna feel real good!
