I Looked Into the Mirror, What Did the Mirror Say?

i looked into the mirror
what did the mirror say?
"you're the ugliest kid i've seen, will you please go way!!!"

my feelings had been hurt
my pride was damaged, i was crushed
my hair was combed, my clothes were clean
my teeth had all been brushed
took my father's overcoat and a faded old bow tie
came back to the mirror to get a new reply

mirror mirror on the wall, how do i look to you?
"just like that ugly kid!", the mirror said as i withdrew

i looked into the mirror
what did the mirror say?
"you're the ugliest kid i've seen, will you please go away!!"

found my mother's make-up kit and my grandmother's old wig
got some lipstick on my mouth and i made my chest look big
put my sister's sweater on and i rolled up both my sleeves
mirror was so silent, i was so relieved

then finally, the mirror spoke and made me feel so dumb
it said, "you're still weird and ugly! how come?"

i looked into the mirror
what did the mirror say?
"you're the ugliest kid i've seen, will you please go away!!"

couldn't please that mirror
no matter how i tried
i spent money, time and energy
and lots of nights i cried
i realized that though it's good to see the way you look
what's important is who you are
that's what i mistook

yeah, the best reflection of who you are comes from another place
so i bought a brand new mirror...
and got a haircut just in case

i looked into the mirror
what did the mirror say?
"you may be the ugliest kid i've seen but please don't go away!!!"
