Lyrics

You can count them for yourself, like the rings inside of a tree
All those wrinkles really show your age--Just take a look at me
Yeah, you helped my hair turn grey; Never had no peace of mind
So now I think I'd better go--I'm running out of time...

Chorus:
Pick a wrinkle, Let me tell you why it's there
Pick a wrinkle, It's a sign I really cared
Pick a wrinkle; Girl, you've left your marks on me
And the lines on my face are visible for everyone to see...

At first, it's innocent fun when you're out and about on the town
But your flirtin' kept on getting worse--Girl, you really brought me down
Did you think I'd understand?--You're so much younger, it's true
I stayed home alone and was growin' old, Gettin' wrinkled, thanks to you (chorus)

Bridge:
I look into the mirror, It's so plain for me to see
The sign that you were here, When I thought you cared for me
But, girl, you've left some ugly scars; Symbols of the past
As I sit alone inside this bar remembering what we had...

Chorus 2:
Pick a wrinkle, How could life be so unfair
Pick a wrinkle; Did you ever really care?
Pick a wrinkle
Girl, you've left your marks on me
And the damage to my life is visible for everyone to see
But now the smile on my face is the wrinkle that finally set me free...
