[Intro:]
|
I've seen that face before, that face that I see in the mirror
|
I know that face, I've seen that face before
|
I knew that dopey guy when he didn't know how to tie his tie
|
He stood right there and he had hair galore
|
|
The man in the looking glass, who can he be?
|
The man in the looking glass, can he possibly be me?
|
Where's our young Romeo, the lad who used to sigh?
|
Who's the middle-aged lothario with a twinkle in his eye?
|
He seem so much wiser now, less lonely but then
|
Could be he's only pretending again
|
Man in the looking glass, smiling away, how's your sacroiliac today?
|
|
Where's your first love affair, that tragedy d'amour?
|
The true love you thought would be the end of you for sure
|
Man in the looking glass, have no regrets
|
The man who's wise never forgets
|
That life is worth living if once in a while
|
You can look in that looking glass and smile
|
