Stranger In The Mirror

(album: Basic - 1978)

I have seen people run after a rainbow
But I've only seen a few that ever caught one
I've seen them run so slow they
Gave up, broke down, went out and bought one

Well, sometimes it turns out to be nothing
And sometimes it's way more than you bargained for

Don't look now
But there's a stranger staring back in the mirror
Don't look now
But he looks real familiar

A dear friend of mine ran up to me and hollered
Hey, ol' bud, I've got some good news and bad
You know the song we wrote was a hit but
Your name isn't on it

Sometimes it turns out to be nothing
And sometimes it's way more than you bargained for

Don't look now
But there's a stranger staring back in the mirror
Don't look now
But he looks real familiar

I was standing next to a bottle
It disappeared and the pain went away
If I could find you, I would remind you
'Cause I'm trying to forget you

Sometimes it turns out to be nothing
And sometimes it's way more than you bargained for

Don't look now
But there's a stranger staring back in the mirror
Don't look now
God knows he looks real familiar

Yeah, he looks real familiar
He looks real familiar
Yeah
