Mirror in the bathroom
Please talk free 
The door is locked
Just you and me.
Can I take you to a restaurant
That's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
While you are eating.

Mirror in the bathroom
I just can't stop it,
Every Saturday you see me 
Window shopping.
Find no interest in the 
Racks and shelves
Just a thousand reflections
Of my own sweet self, self, self

Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom

Mirror in the bathroom 
Recompense
For all my crimes 
Of self defense.
Cures you wiser 
Make no sense
Drift gently into 
Mental illness.

Mirror in the bathroom 
Please talk free 
The door is locked 
Just you and me.
Can I take you to a restaurant 
That's got glass tables
You can watch yourself 
While you are eating.
