When you get what you want
in your struggle for self . . .
And the world makes you
"Queen for a day"
Just go to a mirror,
And see what that lady has to say

For it isn't your mother, your husband or friends
Whose judgement upon you must pass
The one whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass

Some people might think your a straight shootin gal
And call you a wonderful lady
But the lady in the glass says your unworthy
If you can't look her straight in the eye

She's the one to please, never mind all the rest
Cause she's with you clear up to the end
And you've passed your most dangerous difficult task
If the lady in the glass is your friend

You may go down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the Lady in the Glass
