I Wish I Were Your Mirror

(album: New Ways But Love Stays - 1970)

Look at me, look at me, look at me
Here I am
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Oooo, I make sure you see me every day
And though you smile at me
A quick hello is all you ever say

I wish I were your mirror, love
So you'd stare at me
I wish I were your sweater, love
At least you'd wear me

Because when you look at me
I know I don't exist
But every time I look at you
I can almost feel your loving kiss

I wish that I were your mirror
Ooo, baby, how I wish I were your mirror
I wish that I were your mirror
Ooo, baby, baby

Just because I want you
I can't make you want me
And just because I want to
I can't make a flower become a tree

How I wish I were your own name
Though you don't think about it
You write it, you spell it, you turn around

Look at me!
I wish I were the old commode
You take your shower in
I wish I were the sweet cologne
That seeps beneath your skin
I wish that I were your mirror, oh baby
I wish that I were your mirror, oh baby
I wish that I were your mirror, oh baby
