Lyrics A young girl looking in the mirror
She doesn’t like what she can see
“Momma who do I take after
Who made me look so ugly?”
Crying in her heart as she looks at magazines
Page after page she turns
Wishing she was someone who she couldn’t be
Her tears must be on fire cuz it burns
And I know that little girl so well
When I see my reflection she stares back at me
Buying every beauty product on the shelf
Not realizing that only she doesn’t see her own beauty
Mirror, Mirror, show me a rose
I wanna see what’s in the magazine
I have one wish I wish the most
Show me a beauty queen
A young woman looking at her reflection
She doesn’t like what she can see
“Honey, put down the sports section
And take just one look at me”
Crying when she finds his magazines
Page after page she turns
Wishing she had that model’s body
And maybe he would look at her
And I know that young woman so well
When I see my reflection, she stares back at me
Spending time and money making up herself
Hoping he’ll see her true beauty
Mirror, Mirror, show me a rose
I wanna see what’s in the magazine
I have one wish I wish the most
Show me a beauty queen
A young woman on her wedding day
Takes a quick glance at herself
She used to see that little girl’s face
Just like everybody else
But now she only sees one thing
As she looks in the mirror today
She doesn’t care what’s in magazines
Because she knows he loves her this way
Mirror, Mirror, I see the rose
I don’t care what’s in the magazines
Today my husband will make a toast
Because I’m who he wants me to be
