Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not cocky
I just love myself, bitch

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fliest bitch of them all?
Never mind, I am
That bitch is so fucking pretty
Yeah I am
If I were her, I would kiss me (muah!)
Hey

Mirror mirror on the wall
Hit up Prince Charming, tell him give me a call
Never mind, screw him
'Cause I found somebody better
Never mind, screw him
I make myself so much wetter (wetter, wetter)

Everyday I see myself
I love me even more (it's me I adore)
Ain't nobody got shit on me
I'm the best for sure (I should be l'amour)

V is for Vanity
Every time I look at me
I turn myself on yeah
I turn myself on yeah
V is for Vanity (what)
Thank you Mum and Daddy 'cause
I turn myself on yeah (yeah)
I turn myself on

Get into it

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the sexiest of them all?
Never mind I am (I am)
Oh, she's so hot and sexy
Yeah I am (that's right)
No-no-no wonder she's cocky, ow, huh

Mirror mirror on the wall
They call me stuck up, but I'm not at all
Never mind, I am (I am)
It's not my fault I'm the shit
Yeah I am
I am, and I'm a bad ass bitch, hey

Everyday I see myself
I love me even more (it's me I adore)
Ain't nobody got shit on me
I'm the best for sure (are you ready for me?)

V is for Vanity (yeah)
Every time I look at me
I turn myself on yeah
I turn myself on yeah
V is for Vanity
Thank you Mum and Daddy cause
I turn myself on yeah (yeah)
I turn myself on yeah

Get into it

No regrets (no regrets)
Get into it
No apologies (no apologies)
And now I take myself to be my lawfully wedded bitch

All the girls say
Yeah I'm vain, so what, so what
All the boys say
Yeah I'm vain, so what, so what
All the girls say
Yeah we're vain, so what, so what
Everybody say
Yeah we're vain, so what, and what
Whoa

V is for Vanity (yeah)
Every time I look at me
I turn myself on yeah
I turn myself on yeah (yeah what)
V is for Vanity (Hey)
Thank you Mum and Daddy 'cause
I turn myself on yeah (that's right)
I turn myself on

Get into it

If the shoe fits (fits)
Wear a bitch (bitch)
If the shoe fits (fits)
Wear a bitch (bitch)
If the shoe fits (fits)
Wear a bitch (bitch)
Read my lips, muah
I'm a vain bitch, hey

Hey yeah
Got nothing on us
'Til you love yourself
And if they don't like it, tell em
Get in line
And kiss your ass bitch

Love you baby, au revoir
That's right, let's go out like this

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the fliest of them all?
It's me, bow down, get on your knees

Where's my queens?
Who ain't supreme?
Let me hear you scream
Whoa, oh

And they make you see lips on
Going strong
Let us not forget




Who owns the throne?
(You do mommy)
