I always wanted that boy she's in love with And that pretty house they share up on that hill Looks like she got the life I always wanted And always will Well, I like the way she laughs when she's laughin' And I love the way she walks into a room Shoulders back, like she ain't scared of nothin' Down to her boots But she just stopped me in my tracks 'Cause I've never seen her look like that She looked me right straight in the eye, said, "I don't know why you're surprised The truth, to me, could not be any clearer You've always been the girl in the mirror" She said, "I knew, one day, we'd wind up here together You just had some catchin' up to do Whether life gets bad or it gets better Now, you see what you can make it through" Now, she just stopped me in my tracks 'Cause I've never seen myself look like that She looked me right straight in the eye, said, "I don't know why you're surprised The truth, to me, could not be any clearer You've always been the girl in the mirror" Yeah, she just stopped me in my tracks 'Cause I've never seen myself look like that She looked me right straight in the eye, said, "I don't know why you're surprised Well, you're tender and you're tough and you're beautifully enough And I'm talkin' to you, girl" Yeah, I'm lookin' at that girl In the mirror
