This song is about a World War II veteran who comes back to his wife and home after he had become severely disfigured.
[Verse 1]
I got up this morning
Put on my shoes
Tied my shoes
Went to the mirror
For to comb my hair
I made a move
Know what to do
Try to break and run
[Verse 2]
Baby, this ain't me
Baby, this ain't me
Grown so ugly
Grown so ugly
Don't even know myself
Don't even know myself
[Verse 3]
Left Angola, 1964
Walking down the street
Knock upon my baby's door
My baby come out
And ask me who I am
I say "Honey
Honey, don't you know your man?"
She said "My man been gone
Since 1942
And I tell you, Mr. Ugly
He didn't look like you!"
