When you get what you want In the struggle for you
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
See what that person has to say
Now some people call you a straight shooting man
They think you're a wonderful guy
But the one in the gla** says you're only a fool
If you won't look him straight in the eye
For it isn't your lover, your father or mother
Whose judgement upon you must pa**
No, the verdict that counts the most in your life
Is the one staring back from the gla**
Now the one you should please never mind all the rest
Who is with you clear to the end
And you've pa**ed the most dangerous difficult test
If the one in the gla** can be your friend
You can fool the whole world down the pathways of years
Get a pat on the back as you pa**
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you cheat on the one in the gla**
For it isn't your lover, your father or mother
Whose judgement upon you must pa**
No, the verdict that counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the gla**
