Written by Merle Haggard Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie So don't be lookin' if you can't stand to see Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me. Facing the music won't be easy Cause wine and roses leave a jagged scar I thought I knew just where to quit and draw the line But today I know for sure I've gone too far Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie So don't be lookin' if you can't stand to see Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me Now tracing my footsteps won't be easy Cause wine and roses leave a clouded mind I never worried about much about night before Cause the morning after left me nearly blind Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie So don't be lookin' if you can't stand to see Mirrors don't lie, a mirror won't lie I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me I know it's so 'cause one just told the truth on me
