Joey Tempest - The One In The Glass Lyrics
When you get what you want In the struggle for youAnd the world makes you king for a dayJust go to the mirror and look at yourselfSee what that person has to sayNow some people call you a straight shooting manThey think youre a wonderful guyBut the one in the glass says youre only a foolIf you wont look him straight in the eyeFor it isnt your lover, your father or motherWhose judgement upon you must passNo, the verdict that counts the most in your lifeIs the one staring back from the glassNow the one you should please never mind all the restWho is with you clear to the endAnd youve passed the most dangerous difficult testIf the one in the glass can be your friendYou can fool the whole world down the pathways of yearsGet a pat on the back as you passBut your final reward will be heartaches and tearsIf you cheat on the one in the glassFor it isnt your lover, your father or motherWhose judgement upon you must passNo, the verdict that counts most in your lifeIs the one staring back from the glass
