Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna make a change for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
[Verse 2]
As I turned up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs?
[PreChorus]
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind, ya know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
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
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
[Verse 3]
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
Who?
I'm asking him to change his ways
Who?
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, then make a change
[Chorus]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
Who?
I'm asking him to change his ways
Who?
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 the change
[Chorus]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
Man in the mirror, oh, yeah
I'm asking him to change his ways
Better change
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 the change
You've gotta get it right while you've got the time
'Cause when you close your heart then you close your mind
You can't close up your mind
That man, that man
Man in the mirror, oh yeah
You know it, you know it
That man, oh
Better change
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that
Change
[Bridge]
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na
Hoo, hoo
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Ooh
[Outro]
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good, shamone
Change
Just lift yourself, you know it
You've, you've, you've got to start with yourself
Make that change
Ooh yeah, come on
Man in the mirror
Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it, hoo!
Yeah, make that change
You know it, you know it
Man in the mirror
You got to stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up and fight, brother
Yeah, make that change
You know it, come on
Man in the mirror
You know it, you know it, hey
Yeah, make that change
Man in the mirror
Oh, you gotta, gotta stand up and fight, yeah
Yeah, make that change
And make that change, brother, come on, and
Man in the mirror
Woo, come on
You've got to stand up, hey
Make that change
Oh, that man in the mirror, worth sayin'
Man in the mirror
Oh yeah, you've got to stand up and fight, yeah
Yeah, make that change
Oh yeah
Man in the mirror
Come on, come on, and stand up and fight, woo
Yeah, make that change
Oh, you've got that man in the mirror
Man in the mirror
You've got to stand up, stand up, stand up, woo
Change
Make that change
