Me & Mirror
Jordin Sparks · Other Songs - Jordin Sparks
you don't have to be like that
it seems today you're in a mood don't let it get in your way
look at you your hair's all out of place
you don't have to look like that
i'm gonna put some makeup on my face
it's time to start a new day
i ask myself in a joking way if the man i love every comes my way
what faces I'll make
what will i say
before i start my day
chorus:
image of what i feel inside
my imperfections i try to hide
no one but me myself and i
it's where i confide me & the mirror
no ones opinion matters now
it's my time no ones allowed
no one but me myself and i
when no one is around me & the mirror
verse 2
i got a closet full of clothes but i got nothing to wear
i wanna shop
can't wait til i get paid
my cell phone bill will have to wait
my toes are good
should i get my nails done today
cause they look better that way
and oh yeah i forgot to pray
these are the things I'd say
have i done good in the life you gave
i know I've made a few mistakes
will you let me in when i get to the gates
when we're face to face
chorus:
image of what i feel inside
my imperfections i try to hide
no one but me myself and i
it's where i confide me &the mirror
no ones opinion matters now
it's my time no ones allowed
no one but me myself and i
when no one is around me &the mirror
verse 3
it took a simple thing to realize
i need to be alone sometimes
staring back into my own eyes
helped me know me for myself
all the special things i can't find
from what other people see
were right there in the mirror
staring back at me
i got a closet full of clothes but i got nothing to wear
i got a closet full of clothes
i got a closet full of clothes but i got nothing to wear
i got a closet full of clothes
chorus
image of what i feel inside
my imperfections i try to hide
no one but me myself and i
it's where i confide me & the mirror
no ones opinion matters now
it's my time no ones allowed
no one but me myself and i
when no one is around it's me & the mirror
p.s. I'll put the oohs and ohs in later
i'm tired and i'm going to sleep
love you jordin
deuces!
