Mirror
ÄáÅ·Ne-Yo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I must be honest with you babe
(just gotta be honest)
I love to watch the faces that you make (when we make love oh girl)
But when I'm behind you holding your hips and you close your eyes and bite your lips

I can see you so might I suggest a change
Now mama please don't take me strange for what I'm about to say
(please don't take me strange)
If you know anything bout me by now
I'm a freak just follow my lead

Baby I love making love in front of a mirror (in front of a mirror)
So that that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonight)
Baby tonight lets try in front of a mirror (in front of a mirror)
Watching ourselves make love
Girl why don't we

And I'm a keep your chin up please watch me do the...nasty
I like it when you make your moves fast
Mami if I pull your head back
'Cause I want you to see that we look so good together

I understand that your not ready for me and my directory
Your day but featuring me starring you
Baby that's okay with me
I'm the systems next best thing

Baby I love making love in front of a mirror (in front of a mirror)
So that that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonight)
Baby tonight lets try in front of a mirror (in front of a mirror)
Watching ourselves make love
Girl why don't we

I see you can you see me watching you loving it [Repeat: x8]

Baby I love making love in front of a mirror (in front of a mirror)
So that that I can watch you enjoying me (baby tonight)
Baby tonight lets try in front of a mirror (in front of a mirror)
Watching ourselves make love
Girl why don't we





Can we make love in front of a mirror [Repeat until fade]

Overall Meaning

In the song "Mirror" by Ne-Yo, the narrative voice expresses his love for watching his partner during sex, especially when she makes certain facial expressions. He suggests trying something new by making love in front of a mirror so that they can enjoy watching themselves. The singer asks his partner to trust him as he is a "freak" and then proceeds to describe some of the things he would like to do, such as pulling her head back so that they can both see themselves in the mirror. He acknowledges that his partner may not be ready for this yet but insists that it's okay and that they can try it at their own pace.


On a deeper level, the song may be interpreted as a commentary on the importance of self-reflection and acceptance. By watching themselves in the mirror, the couple may be able to see their own flaws and imperfections, which may ultimately lead to a greater sense of self-love and self-acceptance.

This honestly might be the best song that Justin Timberlake has ever done. You can hear the passion, the emotion, and the love he puts into it. Such a beautiful tribute to his grandparents.

@zahcinc149

Easily his best

@danieljackson8265

It's about His wife.
