Joey Tempest The One In The Glass Lyrics

The One In The Glass Lyrics

When you get what you want In the struggle for you 

And the world makes
you king for a day 

Just go to the mirror and look at yourself 

See
what that person has to say 



Now some people call you a straight
shooting man 

They think youre a wonderful guy 

But the one in the
glass says youre only a fool 

If you wont look him straight in the eye




For it isnt your lover, your father or mother 

Whose
judgement upon you must pass 

No, the verdict that counts the most in
your life 

Is the one staring back from the glass 



Now the
one you should please never mind all the rest 

Who is with you clear to
the end 

And youve passed the most dangerous difficult test 

If the
one in the glass can be your friend 



You can fool the whole world
down the pathways of years 

Get a pat on the back as you pass 

But
your final reward will be heartaches and tears 

If you cheat on the one
in the glass 



For it isnt your lover, your father or mother 

Whose judgement upon you must pass 

No, the verdict that counts most
in your life 

Is the one staring back from the glass
