Sometimes whiskey, sometimes pills

The silly things I need to get my thrills

Sometimes women are like cocaine

Got to have 'em more and more every day



[Chorus:]

Yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like I ought to be

Tell me why can't I see

when the devil gets the best of me



I've left heartaches thought they'd mend

I know how to lose some real good friends

I get angry, I stay mad

Can't get happy with this life I have



[Chorus:]

Yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like I ought to be

Tell me why can't I see

when the devil gets the best of me



Now I'm a little wiser than I was back then

But still I'm stumblin' every day

Trying to walk a little straighter

Trying to find a way to forgive



[Chorus:]

Yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like I ought to be

Tell me why can't I see

when the devil gets the best of me



[Chorus:]

Yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like I ought to be

Tell me why can't I see

when the devil gets the best of me



Tell me why can't I see

when the devil gets the best of me
