Girl in the Mirror

Britney Spears

There's a girl in the mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did

There's a story in her eyes
Lullabies and goodbyes
When she's looking back at me
I can tell her heart is broken easily

'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright

Oh the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
Something I could do

If I could
I would tell her
Not to be afraid
The pain that she's feeling

The sense of loneliness will fade
So dry your tears and rest assured
Love will find you like before
When she's looking back at me
I know nothing really works that easily

'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying in tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright

Oh the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
And I wish there was something
I wish there was something
Oh I wish there was something
I could do

I can't believe it's what I see
That the girl in the mirror
The girl in the mirror
Is me

I can't believe what I see (no....)
(The girl in my mirror)
The girl in my mirror is me
Ohh... is me

'Cause the girl in my mirror
Is crying out tonight
And there's nothing I can tell her
To make her feel alright

Oh the girl in my mirror
Is crying 'cause of you
I wish there was something
I wish there was something
Oh I wish there was something
I could do

    Why are you guys all coming on here to bash her? Go comment on a group/artist you DO like then.

    I love this song. Yes, please don't comment on her if it is something bad. She has tons of talent! It doesn't make sense why ya'll hate her so much. I have always loved her music, and her voice. Beautiful song!

    I have this song, and it's beautiful. I have always loved Britney and her music. I still do, regardless of how others feel about her. I love her voice, even though it may not be the strongest out there. However, it's my opinion that she can sing. One of the things I love the most about her is her ability to produce songs like this. These songs can really touch people out there, and help them. It's important to make these types of songs. I wish there were more of them. But, I must agree. If you don't like Britney, why are you wasting your time making bad comments about her? I don't get that, but that's just me.

    I hate Britney, and I think that she is a poor little bitch, but i must say that this song is beautiful. I think that the lyrics are deep, and real. When a girl loves a man´, she can cry and sometimes she feels alone, and that what Britney wants to say, and that´s nice.

    It's simple, after staring at a mirror all day, Britney finally realized that it's her. I'm surprised she was able to figure it out that fast.

Me and Johnny

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
