A willow deeply scarred

Somebody's broken heart

And a washed-out dream

A washed-out dream

They follow the pattern

Of the wind, you 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've 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

Oh, yeah

I'm asking him to change his ways

- Change

- No message could've 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

Then you close your mind

Starting with the man in the mirror

Oh, yeah

- I'm asking him to change

- Yeah

Change

No message could've been any clearer

If you wanna make the world

A better place

Take a look at yourself

And make that change

Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na

- Yeah

- Oh, yeah

- Oh, oh

- Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na, na-na

I'm gonna make a change

- For once in my life

- Ooh

Whoo! Are you kidding me?

Make some noise up in this b*tch.

Heh, uh...

Y'all remember my grandson, Randy.

Did you hear what that boy said?

And in a house of God.

Boy, the apple don't fall far

from the family tree.

- I thought it was funny.

- Oh, you did, huh?

You know, his mother

threw him out the house in New York.

That's why he's at G.G.'s house.

And what did G.G. do to that robe? Getting

it all fitted and taken in like that?

Like she's better than everybody else

just because she's rich.

That woman, I swear.

Did you see the way she looked at you?

Like Jesus left a will

putting her in charge.

I think you have to maintain a certain

speed or you actually go back in time.

And how much did she spend

on all that?

You stay away from that boy is all.

- Tsk.

- Don't suck your teeth at me.

He been trouble since he was 5 years old

and made you eat that goldfish.

Talking about that's where

the little crackers come from.

- Mama.

- Don't think he don't have...

...some new goldfish either.

People don't change,

especially in that family, okay?

And I saw the way

you were looking at Olivia Hill.

You date that little girl, Vi Rose

will just about lay square eggs.

Be worth it.

Hey, now, we're all going around

to the pastor's for lunch on Saturday.

So you behave.

Hey girl

Walter, Olivia.

You're gonna be late for school.

You're too shy shy

Hush hush, eye to eye

Too shy shy

Cover yourself.

Eye to eye

Too shy shy

Walter.

I was in my room listening

to "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo.
