you’re in love with the man in the mirror
you’re gonna make him walk another mile
you’re in love with the man in the mirror
you've got a way to make a widow smile
you’re so vain that you ain’t gonna tell her
you've got the stuff but you ain’t got the style
a substitute for a cute little fella
you've got your fingers crossed now hold ’m tight
you talk about it
you laugh about it
you cut the grid
you’re still a kid
you analyze it but you lost it
you’re in love with the man in the mirror
you've got the features and you've got the wild
you’re in love with the man in the mirror
you've got your temples all across the nile
you think that you’re the greatest kind
but you don’t know a thing 'bout what’s been moving your mind
a twisted key to a better life
though you've never met the man in the mirror at all
you‘ve been taking the vice out of Miami
you’re automatic without cruise control
49th in the row for a Grammy
you've got the limo you ain’t got the role
your mirror
your mentor
your hero
contender no manner demeanor
you think that you’re the greatest kind
but you don’t know a thing 'bout what’s been moving your mind
you think that you’ll get legalized
but you’ll end up as smoke without ever starting a fire
too christian to be crucified
when you tell your friends to respect the reflection of light
a twisted key to a better life
though you‘ve never met the man in the mirror at all
you’re out alone again

die Liebe soll ganz einfach sein
du der Engel ich das Schwein
schwimmt die schwalbe auf dem rhein?
sag mir siegesicher nein
schau auf den Spiegel an der Wand
du die schönste in meinem Land
nun ihr Schiff ist übermannt
dein Futur ist mir bekannt
