Mirror Mirror

About Mirror Mirror

"Mirror, Mirror" is a 1981 rock-styled hit song recorded by American superstar Diana Ross, released as her second single on the RCA label. The song, written by Dennis Matkosky and Michael Sembello, and produced by Ross herself, was the second release from her Platinum-certified album, Why Do Fools Fall in Love. The song talked of a love lost that the singer was going through and her deliberately asking herself while looking in the mirror why she allowed the love "to fall" apart, referencing the Wicked Queen's chant to the Magic Mirror in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: "Mirror, mirror on the wall". "Mirror Mirror" became another smash for Diana, reaching #2 on the Soul chart and peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 It became her second top 10 hit after leaving her longtime label, Motown, in the summer of 1981. The music video was played on BET but rejected by MTV. It showcased the glamorous diva lip-synching the song and during the break, she danced with the video dividing her in double vision as she spun around. Despite the rudimentary production values, it was an early BET favorite. However, it was conspicuously left off her best-selling VHS - and later DVD - compilation "Visions Of Diana Ross". more »

Mirror, mirror
On the wall
You said you had the answers to it all
You never told me I'd take a fall

Mirror, mirror
On the wall

You, you turned my life
Into a paperback novel
Words that come to life
Inside your little melodrama

Chapter one
When I was young
I came to you with my problems
Chapter two
You promised me love
And anything that I desired

[Chorus]
Tell me mirror, mirror on the wall
Thought you said you had the answers to it all
Never told me I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror on the wall

You have nailed my heart
Upon the wall for your pleasures
You have cast a spell
That cannot ever be broken

And now
My eyes grow tired
I watch my picture getting older
But I
Remain the same
Trapped in this mirror forever

[Chorus]

I talk to you each night
And I follow your advise
You've been wrong
What's the price I have to pay
For this fairy tale thing called love?
Let me go!

[Chorus: x2]

Let me go
Mirror, mirror [Repeat: x4]

Tell me mirror, mirror on the wall
Thought you said you had the answers to it all
Never told me I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror on the wall

Tell me mirror [Repeat: x4]
