[Verse 1]
Who's that fool lookin' back at you
In the mirror of your mind?
Could it be the one you see
Whose name you've often signed?
Can you place the familiar face
You thought you left behind?
[Chorus]
Take a real good look (Take a real good look)
In the mirror of your mind
Take a real good look (Take a real good look)
In the mirror of your mind, alright
[Verse 2]
Mm, my, my, my, ooh
Who's that clown bringin' you down
In the mirror of your mind?
Who's the one, that son of a gun
Who treats you so unkind?
Open your eyes and realize
How long you have been blind
[Chorus]
Take a real good look (Take a real good look)
In the mirror of your mind
Take a real good look (Take a real good look)
In the mirror of your mind, mm
[Bridge]
And realize that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
And nobody's out to do you any harm, no, no, no, no
You can't go on just cryin' on somebody else's shoulder
When the helpin' hand is on the other end of your own arm, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Now, wait a minute, I wonder can you get to this, ha-ha-ha, alright
Now listen, things in all directions are only your reflections
Everywhere you go you've got to reap just what you sow
All the world about you, within you and without you
Things that you have hated
They're the things that you've created, now
[Verse 4]
Ah, yes, alright, wait
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the saddest one of all?
Mirror, mirror in my mind
Won't you, won't you help me find the truth?
[Verse 5]
I'd give everything I own to find the truth
Who I am, and what I'm doin'
What I am, and why?
Everything I touch I ruin
I don't know why I try
[Verse 6]
Keep lookin' for the truth
Now, won't you, won't you, won't you help me find the truth?
People tell me, "Come join the crowd
I think we found the way"
But what they are shouts so loud
That I can't hear what they say
[Verse 7]
I'm talkin' 'bout the truth
Where in the world do you go to find the truth?
Seems I heard somebody mention
I don't know where or when
Switch a little part of your attention
From the outside to within
[Interlude]
[Verse 8]
Who's that fool lookin' back at you
In the mirror of your mind? I wanna know
Could it be the one you see
Whose name you've often signed?
Can you place the familiar face
You thought you left behind?
[Chorus]
Take a real good look (Take a real good look)
In the mirror of your mind
Take a darn good look (Take a real good look)
In the mirror of your mind
[Outro]
Come on now, look (Take a real good look)
In the mirror in my mind (In the mirror of your mind)
Won't you, won't you help me find the truth, now (Take a real good look)
In the mirror of my mind (In the mirror of your mind)
Oh, whoa I don't mind (Take a real good look)
Take a look in the mirror, now (In the mirror of your mind)
Take a look in the mirror, now (Take a real good look)
Take a look in the mirror, now (In the mirror of your mind)
Woah, oh, oh
