Stranger In The Mirror

Who is she; that stranger in the mirror?
I watch her while she combs her hair
and as she does, she seems to stare;
so I pretend I just don't care -
I wish she'd go away!

Who is she; that stranger in the mirror?
We both sit here and sip our tea;
I'm sure she knows that I can see
she always dresses just like me -
when will she go away?

Who is she; that stranger in the mirror?
Although it seems she's feeling fine,
her hands are shaking just like mine.
Perhaps she's taken too much wine -
why won't she go away?

Who is she; that stranger in the mirror?
I often wish that she was dead
but still she sits and nods her head;
so I'll get up and go to bed -
that made her go away!
