She stands and she stares
At the face in the mirror
The years haven't been that unkind
Just the right makeup
And just the right laces
Erased all the traces of time
The note that she wrote him
That told of her sufferingShe might have to sit with all night
She made up her face
She made up her story
But he finally made up her mind
He finally made up her mind
She'd not been the cheatin' kind
But too many long nights
And home all alone nights
Drove her right over the line
And he finally made up her mind
The picture that hangs in
The frame by the mirror
Brings up a tear to her eyes
She longs to remember
Those feelings so tender
She felt as that blushing young bride
But he goes out drinking
Without ever thinking
About what he's leaving behind
So she made up her face
And she made up her story
But he finally made up her mind
He finally made up her mind
She'd not been the cheatin' kind
But too many long nights
And home all alone nights
Drove her right over the line
And he finally made up her mind
Yes, he finally made up her mind
