Ooh, hoo...
Ah, ooh

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

As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the street with not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind pretending not to see their need

A summer’s disregard, a 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 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
Uh-huh

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
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see
‘Cause they got no place to be
That’s why I’m starting with me

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, then make a change

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 that change

I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
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)

I’m starting with the man in the mirror (That man, that man, that man), oh, yeah
I’m asking him to change his ways (That man, that man, that man, that man)
(You know that man) 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 (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)

Na-na-na- na-na-na- na-na-na-na (Hoo, hoo)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Na-na-na- na-na-na- na-na-na-na
(Oh, no, oh, no)

I’m gonna make a change
It’s gonna feel real good, come on {Change}
Just lift yourself, you know
You’ve got to stop it yourself {Yeah}
Hoo {Make that change}
I’ve got to make that change today, hoo {Man in the mirror}
You got to, you got to start with yourself, brother, hoo {Yeah}
You know {Make that change)
Staring with the man, the man {Man in the mirror}
You’ve got to, you’ve got to move, come on, come on
You got to stand up {Yeah}
Stand up, stand up and {Make that change}
Stand up and lift yourself now {Man in the mirror}
Hoo, hoo, hoo
Ooh {Yeah}
{Make that change}
Gonna make that change, come on {Man in the mirror}
You know it, you know it, you know it, you know
{Change} Make that change
