I Like The Things About You

(album: The Staple Swingers - 1971)

I looked in the mirror
What did I see?
A brand new image
Of the same old me
But now I wonder
Why should I be surprised
I like the things about me
I like the things about me
I like the things about me
I like the things about me that I once despised

There was a time
When I wished my hair was fine
And I can remember when
I wished my lips were thin
Oh, but now I wonder
Why should I be surprised
I like the things about me
I like the things about me
I like the things about me
I like the things about me that I once despised

Makes no difference now y'all
How you may feel
I've done reached the point
Where I wanna be real
I'm tired of living, living in disguise
I like the things about me
I like the things about me
I like the things about me
I like the things about me that I once despised

I used to just kind of walk around the floor
Walking slow and worrying about it
I don't worry 'bout none of those things
'Cause everything's alright
I know who I am
'Cause everbody's somebody
Yeah, all you gotta do is look up
And go ahead on
