I wash my face, I cut my nails
I comb my hair
For the umpteenth time
I brush my teeth, I clean my ears
Sprinkle my body
With a new Cologne
You know I hit the jackpot, Man!
Can't believe it, but I am
Meeting miss America tonight
I slip into my fancy underwear
Put on my suit, start over again
Jump down the stairs
Right into my car
Drive like mad down the boulevard
You know I hit the jackpot, Man!
Can't believe it, but I am
Meeting miss America tonight
She's been on y mind
Since we were at school
Gee, I never thought
I would see her again
My head is far up in the clouds
I feel I'm flyin, it s so unreal
The doctor says, I'll sure be fine
But it might take a little while
The car is wrecked
Wall, that's OK
Worst thing is I haven't been
Meeting miss America tonight

You had it all
Under control
Nothing left to worry about
You had your way
Day after day
Like a train that's on its track
Everything was easy
You just had to walk on straight
Till the day you woke up
And you finally had to face
There's a stranger in the mirror
And he just can't find his way
There's no answer to the question
But he s trying hard to know
What went wrong
What went wrong
You had your plan
Since you began
To live your life at your own pace
What a career
Year after year
Everyone s been smiling at you
Looking back
It all now seems so hard to understand
Feels like someone else took over
Living in your place
There's a stranger in the mirror

Tell the birds to stop singing
Tell the bells to stop ringing
Then you may tell me to stop
Loving you
Tell the fire to stop burning
Tell the world to stop turning
Then you may tell me to stop
Loving you
The love we share
Might seem a strange adventure
That no wise man and woman
Would ever dare
But this I know:
I'll never leave and never let you go
Cause being without you
I couldn't bear
Tell the birds
Tell the seed to stop growing
Tell the wind to stop blowing
Then you may tell me to stop
Loving you
The day we met I felt
My life was changing
Through yet I hadn t really understood
But when we kissed
I knew that I would never let you go
Cause all I want is you for evermore
Tell the birds
Tell the bees to stop flying
Politicians to stop lying
Then you may tell me to stop
Loving you |
