Michael Jackson Man In The Mirror Lyrics

(Verse 1)

I'm gonna make a change

For once in my life

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 blowin' 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 needs

A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top

And one man's soul

They follow each other on the wind, ya know

'Cause they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know

[Chorus]

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 nana-nana

(Verse 2)

I've been a victim of a selfish kinda love

It's time that I realize

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

(Extended Chorus)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Who?)

I'm asking him to change his ways (Who?)

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

I'm starting with the man in the mirror (Who?)

I'm asking him to change his ways (Who?)

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 (Man in the mirror, oh yeah)

I'm asking him to change his ways (Change his ways)

(Come on, change)

And no message could have been any clearer

(Bridge)

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)

Then you close your mind (Close your, your mind!)

(Chorus)

 (That man, that man) I'm starting with the man in the mirror

(That man)

(Ooh!)

(That man, that man) I'm asking him to change his ways

(That man, the man)

(Change his ways, ooh!)

And no message could have been any clearer

If you want to make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make that

(Take a look at yourself and then make that)

Change!

(Outro)

Hoo, hoo (Na-na-na na-na-na nana-nana), hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!

Gonna feel real good (Oh yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Na-na-na na-na-na nana-nana)

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh no

I'm gonna make a change

It's gonna feel real good, shamone (Change)

Just lift yourself, you know

You've got to start with yourself, (Yeah) hoo!

(Make that change) I gotta make that change today, hoo!

(Man in the mirror) You got to, you got to not pick yourself, brother, hoo! (Yeah)

You know (Make that change)

I've gotta get that man, that man (Man in the mirror)

You got to, you got to move, shamone, shamone

You got to stand up (Yeah), stand up (Make that change), stand up, stand up and lift yourself now (Man in the mirror)

Hoo, hoo, hoo! Aaow! (Yeah, make that change)

Go make that change, shamone (Man in the mirror)

You know it, you know it, you know it, you know (Change)

Make that change
