Man in the Mirror
V.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rebuilding people's houses
Raise 'em up from the ground
It's the biggest storm in Texas
But he ain't backing down
Oh no, he ain't backing down
Oh no that red head mullet baby
He ain't backing down
'Cause he's the coolest man in town
Just look now how he walks
And he hardly makes a sound
We always listen when he talks
But his words are so profound
And I need words
For the coolest man in town
She's running all the shows
And everybody knows that
She's electric with her prose
And her smile will cure your woes
That smile, it'll cure your woes
And she'll break your heart, break your heart, too
If you get to close
'Cause she's the coolest gal in town
Just look now how she walks
And she hardly makes a sound
We always listen when she talks
And her words are so profound
I need words
For the coolest gal in town
'Cause he's the coolest man in town
And he hardly makes a sound




But his words are so profound
The coolest man in town
