take a look
in the mirror
1 look was all it took
the picture became clearer
the face it drew nearer

what did i see
just ME!
there "I" Be
just ME!
mySelf & my other
tweren't no nuther
just ME!

clear as a bell
i could tell
oh well
oh hell
just me
did i see

there in the mirror
things became clearer
things that were dearer
drew nearer
ta' me

a reflection
a new direction
maybe a di-section
catchin' on
ta' the selection
of this song
a song
done gone wrong
ain't where it belong
but still goin' along
still goin' strong

just me
could i see
just me
and who i be

a liar
a live wire'er
a tryer
a cryer
a "good-byer"
a why-er?
i did see
just me

there in the glass
time did pass
me bye
or maybe Time stood still
as Time will
when ya' got Time ta' kill
Time ta' pay the bill
if ya' will
or ya' won't
or ya' don't
and i sigh
a timely refrain
just ta' maintain
my brain
so i don't go insane
i lie
ta' mySelf
can't do nuthin' else

there in the mirror
the picture couldn't be clearer
it couldn't be nearer
naw
i saw
the fear a'
me
just bein' me
that i could see
that fear that me be me

livin' without
your Love
gives me a shove
and all of the above
once was, was
the Be's that i be
the be that i am
damn
there in the mirror
i see
just me

an old cliche
a touche
a run away
or a stay
anyway
i still play
day
or night
i write
i write if i might
about you
yup
that i do
i haven't a clue
why i do
but i do

my mirror
covers my wall
my mirror
is tall

my mirror
hears my re-calls

my mirror
knows my falls

my mirror
see's me

my mirror
knows who i be

my mirror
glows with who i am
damn

that reflection
i see
i just be me

damn
that be who i be

damn
i be who i see

damn
just me

there in the mirror
my me can't be clearer

there i be
for me ta' see

just who i am

damn

there in the mirror
i be clearer
i still have my feara'
bein' too nearer
of the me
i see
there in the mirror
there where i be
there where i see
me

Don't look into that damn mirror, you'll most likely break it and have several years of bad luck, but then again with a face like you got, bad luck has already befallen you...LOL! ed
