Mirror mirror
All you have ever shown me is my exterior
From the time I was young on up til today this
Is what I recollect.
This is all I have seen that you reflect.
Again and again I appear
You' ve made it quite clear
That only my body's architect
Will you reflect.
There's no fantasticism, fairyism, or mysticism
Will you find in this prism only realism.
This is what I expect
For this is all I have seen you reflect.
