Man in the Glass Songtext
von Dion

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say

For it isn′t your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass


Some people may think you're a straight-shooting chum
And call you a wonderful guy
If the man in the glass says you′re only a bum
It's 'cause you can′t look him straight in the eye

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
Get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you′ve cheated the man in the glass

He's the fellow to please never mind all the rest
For he′s with you clear up 'til the end
You′ve passed your most dangerous, difficult task
If the man in the glass is your friend


You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
Get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass
