Get Out Of The Mirror

I look in the mirror, my hair looks great!
Nothing could be better - it's absolute fate.

I stare into it harder, admiring myself
With a face like this - I'd be displayed on a shelf!

Now one more glance and what do I see?
Oh, no! Is that a zit? This can't be!

I stare longer to see what else I find
My hair now looks terrible. What? Am I blind?

Well, now - my makeup! What a disgrace!
I can hardly bare to stare at this face!

My outfit at first - it looked superb.
But I look again and I feel perturbed!

The first glance into the mirror is always swell
But the longer I gaze, I find more that's stale!

It all started out great, with no noticeable flaw
I stared too long - now all I see is one big blah.

So get out of the mirror I'm telling you!
Stop making a fuss! One glance will do!
