Mirror, mirror on the wall,
You’re not playing fair at all.

I’m really upset with you
For giving your distorted view.

You show my hair is turning gray,
It’s just the way the shadows play.

I know that you're not hanging straight
To make me look so over weight.

The way you show a double chin,
It’s just the way the light comes in.

I think I'm fine, but you’re so wise
to put such accent on my thighs.

I wish you'd try to be my friend
And tell me I'm a little too thin.

Just tell me I look good in jeans,
And frilly shirts and pretty things.

Please don't let the wrinkles show,
I’d like to have a pretty glow!

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
You’re not playing fair at all.

I see you won't respond at all,
So I'll just tear you off the wall.
