Mirror Mirror
Randall King Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the biggest fool of all
I bet you could take a guess
All you gotta do is reflect
Mirror mirror on the wall

Mirror mirror on the wall
Well this just can't be it all

How about taking things to far
And shattered her heart
Mirror mirror on the wall

I can't see the world she's been dreaming
Cause all that I see is that old red Chevy
And her leaving
So mirror mirror on the wall
Show me her in the early fall
Back when her eyes ran deep
With all the love for me
Mirror mirror on the wall

I can't see the world she's been dreaming
Cause All that I see is that old red Chevy
And her leaving
So mirror mirror on the wall
Could you be my crystal ball
Do I get her back where she belongs

Or am I full of stares to long
At the mirror on the wall
