(C. Dennis / R. Davies)
I’ve spent a good three hours a day
crawling around on my knees
just to be the perfect reflection for you
Well, I hope I satisfy your needs
I learned the quotes of Oscar Wilde
I memorised most of them
so you can be sure I won’t let you down
when you take me out to meet your friends
Bend me, shape me
but take care, you just might break me
One step forward
and two steps back
Oh, I stare at the mirror
and the mirror stares back
It’s saying just be yourself
and act how you feel
It really isn’t such a big deal
It’s only a date
Smudges in my make up
Slip-slide in my shoes
Trying to keep my dignity intact
I ask please, may I be excused
I bought a gown from Calvin Klein
and shoes from Christian Lacroix
I’d do anything not to show you up
but I hope I haven’t gone too far
Bruise me, use me
but take care, you just might lose me
One step forward
and two steps back
Oh, I stare at the mirror
and the mirror stares back
It’s saying just look at you
all flushed and confused
You shouldn’t get in such a state
It’s only a date
And then a voice cried out from the mirror
as I was standing next to the bar
Are you absolutely sure you want to look that way
an accessory to match with his car
Bruise me, use me, use me like you do
but take care, you just might lose me
Bend me, shape me, shape me like you do
but be careful not to break me
One step forward
and two steps back
Oh, I stare at the mirror
and the mirror stares back
It’s saying just look at you
all flushed and confused
Excuse me if I seem amused
One step forward
and two steps back
Oh, I stare at the mirror
and the mirror stares back
It’s saying just look at you
all flushed and confused
You shouldn’t get in such a state
It’s only a date
